[Libstoragemgmt-devel] How to test pool_create

[Tony Asleson]

Gris,

I'm trying to figure out how to test pool create functionality on actual
arrays. How do I determine which disks I can use to create a pool via
pool_create_from_disks?

Also, weren't we going to put some attribute(s) on pool so that we could
know what we could create from them? eg. Volumes, FileSystem, Pool etc.?

Thanks,
Tony

No design yet.
I can only think about two places could a disk be used:
1. Assemble the pool.
2. Spare disk.

Let me investigate out the spare disk things and discuss this next week.

Pool.optional_data.element_type: (Bit map)
ELEMENT_TYPE_UNKNOWN
ELEMENT_TYPE_POOL
ELEMENT_TYPE_VOLUME
ELEMENT_TYPE_FS
ELEMENT_TYPE_SYS_RESERVED
