Storage Pool Management

Adding and Managing Storage Pools

A Storage Pool is a grouping of drives with a certain storage size and an assigned data protection. A Storage Pool has a minimum of one drive. By default, your px4-300r Network Storage Array has one Storage Pool.

You can create either a data Storage Pool or a cache Storage Pool, which is a grouping of solid-state drives that helps increase read and write performance to volumes in a date Storage Pool.

To Add a Data Storage Pool

1.On the Drive Management page, click Add Storage Pool.

2.In the Information section, enter a name for the Storage Pool.

3.To set the RAID protection, choose a value from the drop-down menu:

●JBOD (None): Uses all of the storage space for data, providing contiguous storage space spanning all member drives. Does not protect against data loss in the event of drive failure.

●None (RAID 0): Uses all of the storage space for data. Does not protect against data loss in the event of drive failure.

●Mirror (RAID 1): Uses half of the storage space for protection, leaving half for actual data. Protects data in the event of a single drive failure.

●Mirror Stripe (RAID 10): Uses half of the storage space for protection, leaving half for actual data. Protects data in the event of a single drive failure.

●Parity (RAID 5): Uses the space corresponding to one drive-size for protection, leaving remaining space for storing actual data.

4.Select the checkbox of the drive or drives you want to add to the Storage Pool. All drives in a Storage Pool must be the same size.

5.Check Enable periodic consistency check to enable a monthly parity or mirror consistency check.

6.If commonly used Shares, Backups, Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and SharedMedia do not already exist on the px4-300r device, check Create commonly used Shares to create these Shares and add them to the Storage Pool. This option is not available if you are creating a cache pool.

7.Check Use for SSD Cache to allow one or more solid-state drives (SSD) to be used as a cache pool. You can only designate SSDs as cache pool drives if they have not already been assigned to an existing Storage Pool. This cache pool becomes assigned to the Storage Pool you are creating.

8.Click Create to add the new Storage Pool.

9.Click Cancel to discard any changes.
