While configuring a pool, you must add storage to the pool so you can later store data.
To add storage to a pool:
The Add Storage Wizard is displayed.
You can select 3 (default) to 14 for RAID-5, or 2 to 14 for other RAID levels.
The Number of Disks option appears.
The Move Unused Virtual Disks window shows the virtual disks that are available for this pool. Available virtual disks will have the profile attributes assigned to this pool that are not in use.
Optionally, you can use storage from other storage pools by selecting virtual disks from those storage pools.
Automatic requires you to specify a storage pool size, and the number of disks to allocate as virtual disks.
The New Pool Summary window appears.
