Arranging Storage by Volume Usage

The simplest way to arrange storage so that its use is restricted to certain applications is to divide it between storage pools as shown in Arranging Storage by Volume Usage. This requires that each storage pool is configured in a separate disk group. Each storage pool can have its own set of policies and templates that are tailored to the requirements of the volumes that are created from its LUNs.

Although this is the simplest way of arranging storage and is expected to be the most common, it may not provide sufficient flexibility for some installations. See Arranging Storage by Attributes for an example of using storage attributes for controlling how storage is allocated.
