2. Select option 1, Add File Pool.

   This option displays an entry screen for the name of one file pool you want to describe to CA VM:Director.

3. Enter the name of a file pool to add to the CA VM:Director SFS configuration.

   You must know the name of the file pool to add to CA VM:Director management. CA VM:Director cannot search for the names of file pools it does not know about. Further, although CA VM:Director checks for the file pool when you enter its name here, it cannot distinguish between inactive file pools and nonexistent file pools. You may therefore get a message from CA VM:Director that the file pool you just added is not responding. This does not mean you entered the file pool name incorrectly—the file pool may simply be inactive at the moment or VMDIRECT does not have ADMIN authorization for this filepool.

4. You can add configuration information to CA VM:Director about this file pool one user storage group at a time or all user storage groups at once.

   To add configuration information about one user storage group at a time, continue with Adding One User Storage Group at a Time.

   To add configuration information about all user storage groups in the current file pool, continue with Adding All User Storage Groups.
