Hi,

In regards to container pools, does anyone know if a storage pool can share the same directory as another storage pool?

Example:
Storage Pool Name: STGPOOL_WIN
Storage Pool Name: STGPOOL_AIX
Storage Pool Directory: STGPOOL_WIN /stgpools/stgpool01
Storage Pool Directory: STGPOOL_AIX /stgpools/stgpool01

Thanks in advance.

No you cannot. Each container expects an empty directory when it starts.

Break that filesystem in 2 filesystems each with their own directory and each pool can use one. It will be simpler to manage.
You will also get a higher dedup reduction with 1 large dedup pool with multiple containers, as opposed to multiple pools. Dedup looks at duplicate data only within the pool the objects below. So if you have more than 1 pool, there's a possibility that some chunks can exist in more than one pull.
