Configuring an OpenStorage disk pool for backups
When you create a disk pool, you specify the following:
The storage server.
For OpenStorage, the disk appliance is the storage server.
The disk volume or volumes to include in the pool.
The disk pool properties.
Cohesity recommends that disk volume and disk pool names be unique across your enterprise.
See Configuring an OpenStorage storage server for backups.
To configure an OpenStorage disk pool
- On the left, select Storage > Disk storage, select the Disk pools tab, and then select Add.
- On the Disk pool options page, select Change, and then select OpenStorage Technology (OST) as the storage server type.
- Select the storage server, and then enter the disk pool properties.
- Select Next.
- On the Volumes page, select one or more volumes to include in the disk pool.

After NetBackup creates the disk pool, you can create a storage unit that uses the disk pool.
