Managing MDisks and pools

You can use the management GUI or the command line interface to work with your managed disks (MDisks) and storage pools.

Managing throttles for pools
You can create, modify, and remove throttles for pools by using the management GUI or the command-line interface.
Creating data reduction pools
To use data reduction technologies on the system, you need to create a data reduction pool, create volumes with the data reduction pool, and map these volumes to hosts that support SCSI unmap commands.
Moving volumes to a data reduction pool
The system supports migrating existing volumes to a data reduction pool with volume mirroring. Hosts I/O operations to the volume are not disrupted during migration.In environments where the system is comprised of older models that support compressed volumes in standard pools, these volumes must be migrated to data reduction pools before the system is upgraded.
