Create pool

The Create Pool dialog box creates a new source, derived object, or cleartext storage pool for a VOB. To create a pool:

  1. Click one of these types in the Type of Pool list.
  2. Enter a name in the Pool Name box and an optional description of the pool in the Pool Description box.

On a Windows host, pools are always created within the VOB storage directory. On a UNIX host, you can use UNIX symbolic links to create a remote pool outside the VOB storage directory, on the same host or a different host.

To create such a remote storage pool, click Create a Remote Pool and enter a global pathname to the location of the new pool in the Global Pathname of Directory to Create for this Pool box. This pathname must be valid for hosts in all regions in which the VOB has a tag.

The Daily VOB Pool Scrubbing scheduled job reclaims space in derived object pools and cleartext pools. When you create either type of pool, you can click Pool Scrubber Parameters to open a dialog box in which you can view or edit settings for scrubbing the pool.
