You can create Thin Provisioning Pools with Quick Launch.
The procedure for creating pools is shown below.
In the left pane of Quick Launch, select a storage device in which to create the pool.
Move the mouse over Action in the menu area and click Create Pool.
The Create Pool screen is displayed.
Enter the required values.
Click Done.
Point
The RAID level that is used when a pool is created varies depending on the number of disks available. RAID6 is used if the number of disks selected in the Disk type field is six or more, and RAID5 is used if the number of disks selected is four or five. If the number of disks is three or less, pools cannot be created.
If the target storage device is an ETERNUS DX S4/S3 series (excluding the ETERNUS DX8900 S4) or ETERNUS AF All-Flash Arrays, 12 disks are required to create a pool by checking "Enable" for the Deduplication or Compression field. The RAID level of the created pool is RAID6.
If "HDD" or "HDD SED" is selected for the Disk type field, Online disks are preferentially used. If the number of Online disks is insufficient, Nearline disks are used.
If you create a pool with Quick Launch, an SNMP Trap is sent when the pool usage reaches 75 % and 90 %. You can change the notification of the pool usage rate from Detail View.
