Manage Storage Pools for VM Instances

A storage pool is a quantity of storage set aside for virtual machines. By default, a storage pool is automatically available for use upon installing the Oracle Linux Virtualization packages.

Storage pools enable administrators to better organize their virtual machines. Cockpit administrators can use the Virtual machines page in the web console to create, activate, deactivate, or remove storage pools as needed.
