Creation of a Storage Pool in VNX
Introduction
It's a physical collection of disks on which logical units (LUNs) are created and presented to the hosts as drives where they can write and read the data.
Pools are dedicated for use by pool (thin or thick) LUNs. Where RAID group can only contain up to 16 disks, pool can contain hundreds of disks.
First we will see the difference between a Raid Group and Storage Pool.
