Hi Nelson

Not willing to try on my own groups (I'm working on some demos at the moment), I pinged one of the experts up at the Nashua location (EqualLogic HQ). According to him, "Yes - you can create and migrate say a single array to a new pool - but not delete the default pool (but you can rename default, however it will still carry extra "default" tag in brackets in GUI.)

Hope this helps!

"If i have more than one storage pool in a SAN configuration, can i leave the default storage pool without members?"

Yes you can.
It can get a bit complicated doing it if you have multiple members, but any pool can be empty.

The only rule is there is always a default pool, even if the name is changed just as Jeff said.

One caveat. If you are using Citrix Xen with the Dell/EQL Storage adapter, it currently only supports the "default pool". If that's empty you won't be able to use the Storage Repository adapter.
