5.1 To create a server pool

If you are creating a clustered server pool you must provide a file system or physical disk to use for the server pool file system. Before you create a clustered server pool you must refresh the file system or physical disk to be used for the server pool file system. To refresh a file system, use the syntax:
refresh { Assembly | FileServer | FileSystem | PhysicalDisk | Repository | SanServer | Server } instance
For example, to refresh a physical disk:
```
OVM> refresh PhysicalDisk id=0004fb0000180000efa8fd003a5f1613
```
And to refresh a file system:
```
OVM> refresh FileSystem name=nfs:/mnt/vol1/poolfs01
```
For more information on the syntax and usage, see Section A.75, “refresh” .
To create a server pool use the following syntax:
create ServerPool virtualIP=value clusterEnable= { yes | no } filesystem=value physicalDisk=value keymapName=value migrateUsingSsl= { yes | no } [startPolicy= { BEST_SERVER | CURRENT_SERVER }] name=value [description=value]
For example to create a clustered server pool:
```
OVM> create ServerPool virtualIP=10.172.77.195 clusterEnable=yes \
  filesystem=nfs:/mnt/vol1/poolfs01 name=MyServerPool description='Clustered server pool'
```
And to create an unclustered server pool:
```
OVM> create ServerPool virtualIP=10.172.77.195 clusterEnable=no name=MyServerPool \
  description='Unclustered server pool'
```
For more information on the syntax and usage, see Section A.26, “create ServerPool”.
