Add or edit storage pools

Prev Next

Define where logs are stored and how long they must be retained.

Storage pools include one or more storage allocations and a data retention time. Mirrored allocations that use network protocols (CIFS, NFS, and iSCSI) require specific configurations to work reliably, such as being on the same switch and having a low latency. Recommended network specifications are:

  • Total latency (server plus network) - 10 ms

  • Total throughput (server plus network) - 20 Mb/sec

  • Mirroring assumes 100% availability of the share

  • Storage pool device allocations are limited to 1 terabyte per allocation. To create a pool with more than 1 terabyte, you must add multiple 1-terabyte devices.

  • You delete a storage pool as long as it, and the devices allocated to it, don't store data.
