14.11.2.3. Creating and starting a storage pool from raw parameters
# pool-create-asname--print-xmltypesource-hostsource-pathsource-devsource-name<target>--source-formatformat
This command creates and starts a pool object name from the raw parameters given.
If
--print-xml is specified, then it prints the XML of the storage pool object without creating the pool. Otherwise, the pool requires a type in order to be built. For all storage pool commands which require a type, the pool types must be separated by comma. The valid pool types include: dir, fs, netfs, logical, disk, iscsi, scsi, mpath, rbd, and sheepdog.
In contrast, the following command creates, but does not start, a pool object name from the raw parameters given:
# pool-define-asname--print-xmltypesource-hostsource-pathsource-devsource-name<target>--source-formatformat
If
--print-xml is specified, then it prints the XML of the pool object without defining the pool. Otherwise, the pool has to have a specified type. For all storage pool commands which require a type, the pool types must be separated by comma. The valid pool types include: dir, fs, netfs, logical, disk, iscsi, scsi, mpath, rbd, and sheepdog.
The
pool-start pool-or-uuid starts the specified storage pool, which was previously defined but inactive.
