4.3.1 Assigning managed disks to storage pools
MDisks can be assigned to a storage pool at any time to increase the number of extents
available in the pool. The system automatically balances volume extents between the MDisks
to provide the best performance to the volumes.
Arrays are created and assigned to a storage pool at the same time.
