Configure a traditional pool for an all-Flash model

You can configure traditional pools for all-Flash models of Unity running OE version 4.2.x and later by explicitly setting the Type attribute to traditional. If you do not set Type to traditional when you create a pool in the Unisphere CLI, a dynamic pool is created.

Step 1: View the list of storage profiles

View the list of storage profiles, as shown in the following example:

uemcli -d 10.0.0.1 -u Local/joe -p MyPassword456! /stor/config/profile -traditional -configurable show 
Storage system address: 10.0.0.1
Storage system port: 443
HTTPS connection 

1:    ID                            = tprofile_2
      Type                          = Traditional
      Description                   = SAS Flash 2 RAID5 (8+1)
      Drive type                    = SAS Flash 2
      RAID level                    = 5
      Maximum capacity              = 95010661072896 (86.4T)
      Stripe length                 = 9
      Disk group                    = dg_34, dg_26
      Maximum drives to configure   = 9, 9
      Maximum capacity to configure = 60189403250688 (54.7T), 2232208064512 (2.0T)

2:    ID                            = tprofile_4
      Type                          = Traditional
      Description                   = SAS Flash 2 RAID5
      Drive type                    = SAS Flash 2
      RAID level                    = 5
      Maximum capacity              = 95010661072896 (86.4T)
      Stripe length                 = Maximum capacity
      Disk group                    = dg_34, dg_26
      Maximum drives to configure   = 9, 10
      Maximum capacity to configure = 60189403250688 (54.7T), 2691354329088 (2.4T)

Step 2: Configure the traditional pool

Configure a traditional pool with the specified profile. Make sure you set -type to traditional and that the -drivesNumber is a multiple of the RAID group width.

uemcli -d 10.0.0.1 -u Local/joe -p MyPassword456! /stor/config/pool create -name test -diskGroup dg_34 -drivesNumber 9 -storProfile tprofile_2 -type traditional 
Storage system address: 10.0.0.1

ID = pool_6
