VSCMD_
CreatePool VSCMD_CreatePool creates a new VolServ drive pool. The
drive members of the drive pools are specified in the command.
Drive pools are non-exclusive; drives may exist in more than
one pool. Drive pools allow logical groupings of system drives
for simplified reference when a specific drive does not need to
be specified in a command, such as the Mount command.
After receiving a VSCMD_CreatePool request, VolServ
creates a new drive pool and returns status to the client which
indicates the success or failure of the request.
