Initialize button: If there is no pool in the array, initializes the whole V-VOL management area. If pools
exist in the array, initializes the pool management block in the V-VOL management area. Initializing
pool management blocks requires up to 20 minutes to complete.
If you click Initialize, all operations performed in the Pool pane, but not applied to the array yet, are
canceled.

SIMs that occurred when a pool’s usage rate exceeded the threshold or when a pool was blocked are
completed. For more information, see ”

Apply button: Applies operations performed in the Pool pane to the array. If the specified operations
complete successfully, content displayed in blue italic in the Pool tree or Pool-VOL list change to
normal black.
If an error occurs during operations, error codes and error messages appear in the error message
pane.
•
Cancel button: Cancels all operations performed in the Pool pane.
Creating new pools
The required time for creating pools depends on the number and capacity of pools and pool-VOLs you
add to the pool. If you create many pools or if you add a large-capacity pool-VOL, it might take about
20 minutes at most until the entire processing ends.
