Child pool

Administrators can use child pools to control capacity allocation for volumes that are used for specific purposes.

A number of administration tasks benefit from being able to define and work with a part of a pool. For example, the system supports VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes, sometimes referred to as VVols, that are used in VMware vCenter and VASA applications. Before a child pool can be used for Virtual Volumes for these applications, the system must be enabled for Virtual Volumes.
