Planning for disk pools

 

This topic provides instructions about how to create disk pools.

• Using disk pools for improved performance
  There are several ways that you can use disk pools to improve disk pool performance.

• Library user disk pools
  Library user disk pools contain libraries and user-defined file systems (UDFS). Library user disk pool steps are easier to recover than nonlibrary user disk pools.

• Nonlibrary user disk pools
  Nonlibrary user disk pools contain journals, journal receivers, and save files whose libraries are in the system disk pool.

• System disk pool
  You need to balance your system disk pool, protect your system disk pool, and prevent your system disk pool from overfilling.

• Planning for independent disk pools
  Several requirements must be satisfied to use independent disk pools, particularly if you plan to use switchable independent disk pools. Setting up an environment for switching devices begins with careful planning.
