Introduction
Data is a critical asset, and as data volumes increase, additional storage space becomes essential. By combining disks of varying capacities, such as 1TB, 3TB, and 5TB, you can create a storage pool with a total capacity of 9TB. On this pool, you can allocate multiple virtual chunks of different sizes for writing data. These chunks reserve their full capacity, even if no data resides on them. This concept is known as thick provisioning .
Dynamic Provisioning Pool (DP-Pool) or thin provisioning addresses this limitation by dynamically allocating storage capacity based on actual data usage.
