Dan,
I read the Users Guide, thank you again for forwarding the link. I have one question right now that I will ask and hopefully the answer will clear up my other questions. (please bear in mind that I am a newbie with virtualization and this unit) 
Unfortunately, when the Modular Server was purchased the Intel® Modular Server Storage Management Pack was not purchased. So I know I can not increase the disk space that is unallocated. 
I am comfused 
: I understand (page 48 of User’s guide)
"Configuring storage includes grouping installed physical hard drives into storage pools, creating virtual drives, and assigning the virtual drives to one or more compute modules. Storage
configuration also includes creating and assigning hot spares to storage pools."
What I don't understand is (PG 65 of the User’s guide):
"Select the type of storage pool to create. If the pool is to be used with compute modules, Select Create Storage Pool. If the pool is to be used with virtual machines, select Create VM Storage Pool."
What is the difference between Storage Pool (compute Modules) and VM Storage Pool( Virtual Machine)? I am not following it. I know there is something I am missing but I cannot place it. Below is what is
making me confused:
We have 6 windows servers and 1 xp machine installed on the Model Server with 2 Compute Modulars both with 700GB and RAID5,
aren’t they virtual machines? I am assuming that the setup would be Virtual Machine. How would I know if it is set up as Virtual Machine or Compute Modules?
thanks for your assistance here.
Robin
