Note:  You can automatically assign arrays when creating a pool pair. The arrays are created with the default raid type, RAID 6. To configure other supported raid types, use the advanced configuration for pool creation, or assign the arrays manually to an existing storage pool from the unassigned arrays. RAID level 5 can be selected for the older models of DS8880 but it is not recommended. For more information, see “Creating Open Systems (FB) Pools: Advanced Configuration” on page 311. 

3. Click the Create Pool Pair tab. The Create Pool Pair window opens. 

4. Specify the pool pair parameters, as shown in Figure 11-42: 

– Storage type : Ensure that Open Systems (FB)  is selected. 

– Name prefix : Add the pool pair name prefix. A suffix ID sequence number is added during the creation process.
