6To set the capacity of the new pool manually, complete the following steps:

•In Pool Mapping Preference, select Manual Configuration.

•In Disk Assignment, select the Use checkbox for each disk being used to create the pool.

Disk Assignment allows you to specify which disk drives are to be used by the pool being created. To create a pool that only occupies a portion of a single disk, make sure to only select the Use checkbox for the drive you want to use.

•In Space Allocation, enter the size (in gigabytes) of the pool. The pool size can be set using the text box or the slider control.

If multiple disks are connected to SimpleShare, by default the Space Allocation selects all available drives. This results in all available space on each drive being allocated to the new pool being created. To remove disks from the pool being created the Manual checkbox must be selected and the Use checkbox for the drives that are not to be included in the pool must be deselected.

7 Click Create Pool .
