Kadalu Storage Pools
Identify a node where Storage manager will be deployed. This node can be one of the storage nodes, or it can be a spare node that is highly available.
Enable and start the kadalu-mgr
[root@server1 ~]# systemctl enable kadalu-mgr
[root@server1 ~]# systemctl start kadalu-mgr[root@server1 ~]# kadalu pool create DEV

4e67989e-0c24-44ac-b0a7-81aa5cb4ec6b DEVThe pool data and the configurations are stored in /var/lib/kadalu. Since the storage manager is running in a single node, by default it is not highly available. Use kadalu-lite Volume for high availability, or backup the Pool data in regular intervals. Refer "High availability" chapter (Coming soon) for more details.
Since Kadalu Storage manager supports multiple Pools, the manager node is not part of any Pool by default. Optionally invite the Storage manager node to join the Pool, which is similar to inviting other Storage nodes.
