Hitachi Cloud Service storage pools

Each Hitachi Cloud Service storage pool contains one or more namespaces that are associated with specific Hitachi Cloud Service storage components. Each Hitachi Cloud Service storage pool includes all of the storage that’s allocated to all of the namespaces in the pool.

To enable HCP to access the storage that’s represented by a Hitachi Cloud Service storage pool, when you create that component, you specify the following information:

The storage pool name.

Optionally, a description of the pool.

Whether you want HCP to compress object data that’s stored on the storage that’s allocated to the namespaces in the storage pool.

Whether you want HCP to encrypt object data that’s stored on the storage that’s allocated to the namespaces in the storage pool. If encryption is disabled for the system, this option is not visible.

For each namespace you want to include in the storage pool:

oThe name of the Hitachi Cloud Service storage component that represents the Hitachi Cloud Service endpoint that’s used to access the namespace

oThe account label used to identify the Hitachi Cloud Service user account that’s used to access the storage associated with the namespace

oThe name of the namespace

Note:  

At any given time, a namespace can be included in only one storage pool.

Each namespace you add to a new Hitachi Cloud Service storage pool must be empty or have only HCP data in it.

A storage pool is compliant only if all of the namespaces in the pool are associated with compliant Hitachi Cloud Service storage components.
