PowerStore doesn't have the concept of pools, all disk configuration is done automatically. As soon as you add the drives PowerStore OS will add them to the available capacity in the system.
Chris is right, the disk add happens automatically, even a full enclosure filled with drives wont take more then 10 minutes to recognize all the space into the pool.
Which model powerstore are you using? What type of drives are they? Which Powerstore OS version? Does it show any running jobs for adding the space? Did you follow the solve procedures? https://dell.to/3PhD0Lx
Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.
