Create a Storage Resource Pool

A storage resource pool is a logical collection of MediaAgents. This configuration enables storage provisioning based on geographical regions.

Note: Storage resource pools support mapping multiple storage regions from a specific vendor to a single MediaAgent region in a single resource pool.
