You can assign just one or two volumes instead of assigning the workload to a large pool that has many volumes across which to distribute the data. Manually creating a separate pool that is dedicated to the workload of a specific application can allow storage system operations to perform more rapidly, with less contention.

To manually create a pool: Select Storage, and then select Pools & Volume Groups. From the All Capacity tab, click Create > Pool.

To manually add drives to an existing pool: From the Pools & Volume Groups page, select the pool, and then click Add Capacity.
