Create a tier

You can group create a tier that contains one or more node pools. You can use the tier to store specific categories of files.

   The SmartPools tab appears with two sections: Tiers and pools and Compatibilities.

2. In the Tiers and pools section, click Create a tier.
3. In the Create a tier page that appears, enter a name for the tier.
4. For each node pool that you want to add to the tier, select a node pool from the Available Node Pools list, and click Add.
   The node pool is moved into the Selected Node Pools for this Tier list.
5. Click Create Tier.
   The Create a tier page closes, and the new tier is added to the Tiers and pools area. The node pools that you added appear below the tier name.
