Each Microsoft Azure storage pool contains one or more containers that are associated with specific Microsoft Azure storage components. Each Microsoft Azure storage pool includes all of the storage that’s allocated to all of the containers in the pool.
To enable HCP to access the storage that’s represented by a Microsoft Azure storage pool, when you create that component, you specify the following information:
•The storage pool name.
•Optionally, a description of the pool.
•Whether you want HCP to compress object data that’s stored on the storage that’s allocated to the containers in the storage pool.
•Whether you want HCP to encrypt object data that’s stored on the storage that’s allocated to the containers in the storage pool. If encryption is disabled for the system, this option is not visible.
•For each container you want to include in the storage pool:
oThe name of the Microsoft Azure storage component that represents the Microsoft Azure endpoint that’s used to access the container
oThe account label used to identify the Microsoft Azure user account that’s used to access the storage associated with the container
oThe name of the container

Notes: •At any given time, a container can be included in only one storage pool. •Each container you add to a new Microsoft Azure storage pool must be empty or have only HCP data in it. •A storage pool is compliant only if all of the containers in the pool are associated with compliant Microsoft Azure storage components. |
