Manage disk pools

A disk pool is a collection of disks from a storage node or multiple storage nodes in a node pool. In the current software version, only block storage disk pools are supported.

You can assign disks to disk pools based on their performance to resolve disk compatibility issues about heterogeneous servers. The system saves replicas or blocks of data in a specified disk pool for high availability. The data is available as long as the number of failed disks does not exceed the limit specified in the redundancy policy of the disk pool.

Configuration workflow

  1. Create a disk pool—Add a block storage disk pool.

  1. Add disks to a disk pool—Add disks to the disk pool.

  1. Manage disk pools—Edit, delete, or view detailed information about the disk pool.
