Nope, you create the 45 volumes in each pool as per your config snippet.

Well, I don't know about that, but I gathered you were concerned about
the cosmetic appearance of the volume incremented names being global
and not pool specific. If you have a new setup without any volumes, and
run a job that uses PoolName2, the first volume will be "0" then if you if
your next job requires a volume from PoolName3, it will have the next
"1" increment etc... Maybe I am unclear about your concern still?

Your config looks fine, so as my last email outlined, you will have 45 volumes
in each pool and your job can specify the pool you want. Volume use/rotation
can be tuned according the manual:
