If a hard drive is available, the drive size is displayed. Selected drives are highlighted in green with the drive size displayed on each of the drives. Hard drives that are either included in an existing storage pool or configured as a hot-spare drive cannot be selected on this screen and are considered unavailable. Unavailable drives are displayed as darker than the available hard drives and do not have the drive size displayed on the image. The highlighted drive carriers identify the physical hard drives that have been selected for the storage pool. In this example (see Figure 51), drives 1, 2, 3, and 4 are selected. 5. Verify that the overall storage pool capacity and available RAID level options supported by the number of physical drives selected meets your storage requirements. The Pool Capacity displays the total available storage space for the new storage pool. In Figure 51, four 67 GB hard drives are selected to be grouped together to create a single storage pool with a Pool Capacity of 268 GB. The RAID level options are determined based on the number of hard drives selected for the storage pool. In Figure 51, four hard drives are selected. The RAID levels supported by grouping hard drives 1, 2, 3, and 4 together as a single storage pool are: 0, 5, 6, 10, and 1E. RAID levels that are not available are displayed in light gray text. In this example, RAID levels 1, 50, and 60 are grayed out. It is important to note that the RAID level is not assigned to a storage pool. Instead, it is assigned to the virtual drives within a storage pool. This enables a single storage pool to support many virtual drives with different RAID levels. Figure 51.

The action box, help box, and informational tabs update to provide all available actions and information for the selected storage pool.

If a hard drive is available, the drive size is displayed. Selected drives are highlighted
in green with the drive size displayed on each of the drives. Hard drives that are either
included in an existing storage pool or configured as a hot-spare drive cannot be
selected on this screen and are considered unavailable. Unavailable drives are
displayed as darker than the available hard drives and do not have the drive size
displayed on the image. The highlighted drive carriers identify the physical hard
drives that have been selected for the storage pool. In this example (see
Figure 51
),
drives 1, 2, 3, and 4 are selected.
5.
Verify that the overall storage pool capacity and available RAID level options
supported by the number of physical drives selected meets your storage requirements.
The Pool Capacity displays the total available storage space for the new storage pool.
In
Figure 51
, four 67 GB hard drives are selected to be grouped together to create a
single storage pool with a Pool Capacity of 268 GB.
The RAID level options are determined based on the number of hard drives selected
for the storage pool. In
Figure 51
, four hard drives are selected. The RAID levels
supported by grouping hard drives 1, 2, 3, and 4 together as a single storage pool are:
0, 5, 6, 10, and 1E. RAID levels that are not available are displayed in light gray text.
In this example, RAID levels 1, 50, and 60 are grayed out. It is important to note that
the RAID level is not assigned to a storage pool. Instead, it is assigned to the virtual
drives within a storage pool. This enables a single storage pool to support many
virtual drives with different RAID levels.

6.
Click Create to create the new storage pool.
Once a storage pool has been created, the Storage screen changes to highlight the
newly created storage pool. The action box, help box, and informational tabs update
to provide all available actions and information for the selected storage pool. Current
health and product summary is quickly available by moving the mouse over the
Health/Information icon located on the selected storage pool.
