	Any storage Storage Pool which is to be made Highly-Available must be configured such that both systems used in the HA configuration both have access to all disks used by the storage pool. This necessarily requires that all devices used by a storage pool (including cache, log, and hot-spare devices) must be in a ''shared'' external JBOD or SAN. Verify connectivity to the back-end storage used by the Storage Pool via the ''Physical Disks'' section of the WebUI.
