A storage pool is an aggregation of storage resources on a storage area network (SAN) that you have set aside for a particular purpose. For example, you could use a storage pool for targets of copy operations that a collection of storage devices on the SAN can use.
The pool can be split into virtual disks (VDisks) that are visible to the storage devices that use them. The storage devices can be from different vendors but must be a type that Multiple Device Manager supports.
