Creating ZFS Pool

Creating a ZFS pool is straightforward with our intuitive wizard. The Pool Type determines the redundancy and fault tolerance of your pool. If you plan to use a single disk without redundancy, select Stripe as the pool type.

Step 1: Click on “Create New ZFS Pool”

To begin, navigate to **Storage Management** -> **ZFS Pools** and click on **Create New ZFS Pool**.
