After the child pool is created it is listed in the Pools panel under its parent pool, as shown in
Figure 4-37. Toggle the arrow sign in the left of the storage pool name to either show or hide

Actions on child storage pools
All actions supported for parent storage pools are supported for child storage pools, with the
exception of Add Storage. Child pools additionally support the Resize action.
Note: You cannot create an encrypted child pool from an unencrypted parent pool if the
parent pool contains any unencrypted array or an MDisk that is not self-encrypting and
there are nodes in the system that do not support software encryption (for example, nodes
that do not have encryption license enabled).
An encrypted child pool created from an unencrypted parent pool reports as unencrypted if
the parent pool contains any unencrypted arrays. Remove these arrays to ensure that the
child pool is fully encrypted.
