Create a Dynamic Provisioning pool that the S-VOL of the GAD pair uses. You must create a pool volume, and then create the Dynamic Provisioning pool.

Specify a parity group (13-4) to create a pool volume.

raidcom add ldev -parity_grp_id 13-4 -ldev_id auto -ddp_ldev -request_id auto -IH1

Verify that the asynchronous command processing is complete.

raidcom get command_status -IH1
HANDLE SSB1 SSB2 ERR_CNT Serial# Description
00c3 - - 0 822222 -

Format the parity group (13-4) in which the pool volume is created.

raidcom initialize parity_grp -parity_grp_id 13-4 -operation fmt -IH1

Verify that the asynchronous command processing is complete

raidcom get command_status -IH1
HANDLE SSB1 SSB2 ERR_CNT Serial# Description
00c3 - - 0 822222 -

Specify the parity group (13-4) with the pool volume created to create a Dynamic Provisioning pool whose pool ID is 0 and whose pool name is HA_POOL.
```
raidcom add dp_pool -pool_id 0 -pool_name HA_POOL -parity_grp_id 13-4 -ddp_ldev -request_id auto -IH1
```

Verify that the asynchronous command processing is complete.

raidcom get command_status -IH1
HANDLE SSB1 SSB2 ERR_CNT Serial# Description
00c3 - - 0 822222 -
