A storage pool is a named set of SAN File System volumes that can be used to store either metadata or file data. A storage pool consists of one or more volumes that provide a quality of service that you want for a specific use, such as to store all files for a particular application or a specific business division. You must assign one or more volumes to a storage pool before it can be used.

SAN File System has two types of storage pools: system storage pool and user storage pool.
