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.

I can't speak specifically to the simulator question, but I have decommissioned entire node pools. Typically you end up with an empty node pool left behind, and you have to call support to have them do a disi command to remove it.

Thanks Peter
That did work, Created a seperate nodepool and moved ~100GB of data onto it.
while I was removing nodes from the cluster (smartfail the node) I managed to get the remaining nodes to report 33GB used out of 23GB
