Storage pools

A storage pool is defined by a logical grouping of Slicestor® devices that are used to store vault data.

A vault is created on a storage pool. These are a few rules to keep in mind:

  • Storage pools must be defined before vault creation. If pools are not defined, vault creation is redirected to the Create Storage Pool page.
  • Multiple vaults can be created on a storage pool.
  • A Slicestor device can be a member of a single storage pool. A Slicestor device can be replaced and the data is evacuated to another device. Network throughput that is allocated for this operation can be controlled via a data evacuation rate limit parameter.
  • Storage Pools can be created with or zone storage enabled. storage improves small object performance.
    Note: Zone storage can be enabled when all devices are upgraded to ClevOS 3.14.2 or newer.
  • If at least one Notification Service exists, the Notification Service is displayed.
  • The Object Expiration section is used to configure object expiration settings and view reports.
  • Object Lock must be enabled at the storage pool level. Then Object Lock can be enabled for individual container vaults. Note that for Object Lock to be enabled, Versioning must be supported, as well.
  • Allows advanced configuration parameters at the set level on a storage pool.
