# 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.

## Prerequisites

Before creating a storage resource pool, you must first create a server group that includes MediaAgents specific to the desired target regions.

## Procedure

   The Infrastructure page appears.

2. Click the Resource Pools tile.

   The Resource Pools page opens.

3. Click Add > Storage.

   The Add Storage Resource Pool configuration page appears.

4. In the Name field, enter a unique name for the storage resource pool.

5. From the MediaAgent Group list, select the server group that contains the MediaAgents for the target regions.

6. From the Select vendor list, select the cloud vendor.

7. In the Supported Regions section, click Add + to add a region mapping:

8. Storage region: From the list, select the desired storage region.

9. MediaAgent Region: From the list, select the MediaAgent region to be used during storage provisioning for the selected storage region.

10. (Optional) Repeat this step to add additional region mappings to the pool.
