The pool management categorizes storage into Primary and Secondary sections. The storage pool functions as an abstraction layer, facilitating task movement and accommodating different storage classes.
A Storage Pool must be configured before setting up a Workflow.
Storage Pools Overview
Storage Pools are categorized based on the class of storage:
Primary Storage
Purpose: Acts as the data source.
Types: Can be either NAS Storage or Cloud Storage.
Secondary Storage
Purpose: Serves as the data destination.
Workflow Types:
Offline Archive: Utilizes NAS, Cloud, or Tape.
Active Archive: Utilizes NAS, Cloud, or Tape.
The distinction between Primary and Secondary Storage is essential for proper data management. For Secondary Storage, pools can be organized based on different Workflow Policies to manage various storage systems effectively.
