4-1.1 Create Pools
In the initialization setup wizard step, we created the first and the second storage pools. You can also
create additional disk pools from management webpage for different uses.
If you only need to create two disk pools and it has been successfully created, you can skip this step.
If you want to create an additional disk pool, follow the instructions below on how to create a disk pool.
1. Go to Settings > Storage > Pools. Click Add pool to create a new disk pool.
2. Create a pool.
a. Specify your pool name (this field is required).
b. Select the write policy in cache memory from the scroll down list. There are two options: Write-Back
(default) and Write-Through. With Write-Back, writing is only done to the cache while the backing storage
is postponed until cache blocks containing the data are about to be modified or replaced with new content.
With Write-Through, data write is done synchronously both to the cache and to the backing storage.
c. Read the description in gray carefully and select Asymmetric Active/Active or Symmetric
Active/Active mode under Select controller ownership policy for the pool.
