appears, provide the following information, and then click OK.
 Storage Pool Name: Type a name for the storage pool. If the OK button is disabled
when you finish typing the name, the name is reserved; try another. For a list of
reserved names, see Chapter 7.
 Use for: Choose the types of data that can be stored on the storage pool.
 Stripe Breadth: Specify how much data is written to or read from each LUN in the

Stripe Breadth for a Storage Pool” on page 93.
 Multipath Method: Choose Rotate to have Xsan alternate between the connections
for maximum throughput. Choose Static to have Xsan assign each LUN in the storage
