DISK POOL MANAGEMENT

CREATING A BASIC POOL

One method of using additional drives added to SimpleShare is to simply use the additional disk to create new shares. This is the easiest method and only requires claiming the new disk, creating one or more pools on the disk and finally creating share(s) within the new pools. This procedure is for creating a basic unencrypted pool. If you want to create an encrypted pool, see “Creating an Encrypted Pool” on page 85.

1In the Disk Management menu, click Create New Pool.

2In New Pool Name, enter a descriptive name for the pool.

3To allocate all available disk space on SimpleShare to the new pool, in Pool Mapping Preference select Auto Configuration, then continue to Step 5 on page 65.

Selecting Auto Configuration automatically selects the

Maximum Size checkbox.
