Adding
drives to a cascaded drive pool
You can add a drive to an
existing cascaded drive pool provided the drive is of the same type
as the drives already in the pool and provided that the drive is
not in another cascaded drive pool. Drives that are part of a
non-cascaded drive pool will be removed from the other pool when
added to a cascaded drive pool.
