Each pool includes RAID (the RAID level depends on how many disk drives are in the pool) and can also include a hot spare for an additional level of data protection. Logical devices and volumes are then built from the storage space contained within that pool. Once a pool is created, you can use Adaptec Storage Manager to increase its capacity, change its RAID level, and make other modifications. This section describes how to: • Create a new pool after setup is complete (see the following section). • Create a pool using express configuration (see page 95) • Add capacity to an existing pool (see page 96). • Change the RAID level of a pool (see page 96). • Move a pool to another iSCSI Storage Appliance (see page 97). • Enable or disable the controller read or write cache for a pool (see page 100). • Delete a single pool (see page 101) or all pools (see page 101).
