text: **Naming rules:**When you choose a name for a pool, the following rules apply: 
  
  (cid:2) Names must begin with a letter. 
  
  (cid:2) The first character cannot be numeric. 
  
  (cid:2) The name can be a maximum of 63 characters. 
  
  (cid:2) Valid characters are uppercase letters (A - Z), lowercase letters (a - z), digits (0 - 9), 
  underscore (_), period (.), hyphen (-), and space. 
  
  (cid:2) Names must not begin or end with a space. 
  
  (cid:2) Object names must be unique within the object type. For example, you can have a 
  
  volume that is named ABC and a storage pool that is calledvolumes that are 
  calledvolumes called ABC. 
  
  (cid:2) The default object name is valid (object prefix with an integer). 
  
  (cid:2) Objects can be renamed to their current names. 
  
  The new pool is created and is included in the list of storage pools with zero bytes, as shown 
  in Figure 6-8.
