4.3.33.1 ADD STORAGEPOOL

This command adds a new Exascale storage pool.

Syntax

ADD STORAGEPOOL
   NAME = storagepoolname
   [ SIZE = size ]
   [ TYPE = storagetype ]
   CELLLIST = 'celllist'
[ WHERE
     EXASCALECLUSTER = exascaleclustername ]

Arguments

• NAME: Specifies the name of the Exascale storage pool.

• SIZE: Optionally, specifies the size of the storage pool in GB. If not specified, then the storage pool receives all of the available space in the specified cells.

• TYPE: Specify EF to create a flash-based storage pool using High Capacity Exadata storage servers. Otherwise, the storage pool media type is derived from the Exadata storage server type.
• CELLLIST: Specifies the list of Exadata storage servers to use for the storage pool. The value is a space-seperated list of cell names, or use ALL to specify all available cells in the OEDA configuration file (es.xml). Note that the value is also surrounded by single quotes (as displayed in the command syntax).

The following argument is available in the WHERE clause:

• EXASCALECLUSTER: Specifies the name for the Exascale cluster that contains the new storage pool.

Usage Notes

• When you use the ADD STORAGEPOOL command, there is no immediate check to validate the specified storage pool size. However, deployment fails with an error if there is insufficient space.

• The WHERE clause is optional if the OEDA configuration file (es.xml) contains only one Exascale cluster. Otherwise, the WHERE clause is mandatory.
