You need an eval license for SmartPools to begin with, of course.  Then you can give isi storagepool a shot:  isi storagepool nodepools  Actions:     create    Create a node pool.     delete    Delete a node pool.     list      List node pools.     modify    Modify a node pool.     view      View details for a node pool.  This new isi command didn't exist when I ran my SmartPools experiments on a virtual cluster, but I managed to create separate pools... by some other means (support would get outright dizzy).  Now with isi storagepool it should work much cleaner, check it out.  hth  -- Peter
Greetings,  I have some upcoming work in our prod cluster, I will be removing 9 nodes. This is the Entire smartpool (Cluster has 4 distinct pools) I have not yet had the privilege of decommissioning an entire pool and ideally would like to test it in a simulator.  I have an ESX host with the 7.2 simulator running a cluster now, It would be nice to build an example environment in the simulator for testing.  Is it possible to have multiple pools in a simulator environment ? How would I configure that ?  A.
