Note: If your parity groups do not meet these requirements, you
can only use the advanced method of pool creation.
• Based on the Storage System model, Storage Advisor determines the
maximum pool size.
• Storage Advisor then displays the pools in increasing order of pool size.
Creating a pool, advanced method
You can use the advanced method of pool creation to select parity groups
filtered by disk type, speed, layout, and RAID level. This method does not
employ best practices.
Note: Mixing different disk types in a Thin pool is not recommended. If you
choose to create such a pool, Storage Advisor identifies the tier in this pool
as "mixed".
Before you begin
Create and configure parity groups on the storage system.
License requirements:
• For a Tiered pool: Dynamic Tiering
• For a Thin pool: Dynamic Provisioning
• For a Snap pool: Thin image
• For active flash: active flash
Procedure
1. On the Storage Advisor dashboard, click Storage Systems to see the
inventory of registered storage systems.
