The first step in configuring your array is to set up disk groups. You can divide these
groups up later to individual nodes via the creation of volumes and you should combine
drives into pools. There are performance considerations for assigning a large number of
drives into a single disk group and having every node in a single pool where the IO
blender (multiple servers at once accessing the same resource) can lead to significant
random reads and writes. Because of this, size the pools appropriately and keep in mind
additional disk groups can be added in the future. It also should be noted that having
pools on the separate controllers would ensure load balancing. Because of this, having
at least an A and a B pool is considered best practice.
