This topic describes how to create storage pools.
The following prerequisites must exist before you can configure
storage pools:
- There must be volumes available to create a new storage pool. If not:
- The SAN File System administrator must request volumes from a storage
device administrator.
- The administrator of the storage device must assign metadata server engines
and SAN File System clients as hosts. In addition, the administrator must
allocate LUNs to be used as devices in the system storage pool to metadata server engines
and LUNs to be used as data devices to the appropriate clients.
- Only one system storage pool can exist.
- Make sure that you add LUNs to the default storage pool.
- You must be an administrator or IBM® support representative to perform this
task.
