# Add a storage pool

Storage pools exist within a storage domain on a storage system. After you add a storage system and select a domain that contains storage pools, you can choose one or more storage pools to add to the appliance. Storage pools are created on a storage system using the management software for that system. You cannot create or delete storage pools from the appliance.

Prerequisites

- Required privileges: Infrastructure administrator or Storage administrator.

- You have added a storage system that contains a domain with at least one storage pool in it.

| NOTE: You can also add storage pools from the Storage Systems screen when adding a storage system. See Add Storage System for more information.
