## Adding Storage to a Pool

While configuring a pool, you must add storage to the pool so you can later store data.

To add storage to a pool:

1. Go to the Sun Web Console page and click SE6920 Configuration Service.
2. Click Storage > Logical > Pools.
3. Click the name of a storage pool to which you want to add storage, and click Add Storage.

The Add Storage Wizard is displayed.

4. Specify the number of disks you want to use for this storage pool allocation, and click Next.

You can select 3 (default) to 14 for RAID-5, or 2 to 14 for other RAID levels.

5. Note that this step appears only when the number of disks specified in the associated Profile is set to Variable, and there is available storage: Specify how you want the storage pool to be populated:

- Manual - specify by tray

The Number of Disks option appears.

- Manual - move unused virtual disks from similar pools

The Move Unused Virtual Disks window shows the virtual disks that are available for this pool. Available virtual disks will have the profile attributes assigned to this pool that are not in use.

Optionally, you can use storage from other storage pools by selecting virtual disks from those storage pools.

- Automatic (default) - specify by capacity

Automatic requires you to specify a storage pool size, and the number of disks to allocate as virtual disks.

6. Click Next.

The New Pool Summary window appears.

7. Review the specified information for the added storage. If you are satisfied, click Finish. Otherwise, click Previous to make changes.
