Guidelines for creating a storage pool

When you create a storage pool, use the following guidelines:

• You can create a pool of primary file stores. You cannot create a pool of secondary file stores or object stores.
• You can add a storage to a pool at any time. However, once you assign a storage to a pool, you cannot remove it from the pool.
