storagepool
A storage pool is a logical container for physical storage devices that allows administration to be decoupled from the underlying hardware. By aggregating drives into a single pool, a storage management system can dynamically allocate space to virtual disks or volumes as needed and adapt to hardware changes without disrupting clients. The pool itself does not provide a single fixed volume; instead, it serves as a resource from which virtual storage objects are created.
A storage pool typically consists of one or more physical disks organized by the storage subsystem. Depending
Management usually involves creating the pool from available drives, configuring resiliency and provisioning policies, and then
