1. A method for creating a virtual storage pool, comprising: receiving a selection that identifies a physical location of one or more block devices to include in the virtual storage pool originally identified via a user interface that shows one or more available devices that may be included in the virtual storage pool, wherein: the selection is received by a controller that communicates with a plurality of physical servers, the selection identifies a reference number of at least one physical server of the plurality of physical servers of a plurality of servers, the selection identifies a sub-block number that identifies a sub-block of one or more sub-blocks associated with the at least one physical server of the plurality of physical servers; the selection identifies a slot number identifying a slot of one or more slots in the at least one physical server of the plurality of physical servers, and each of the one or more slots are associated with the physical location of the one or more block devices and the one or more slots corresponding to the one or more sub-blocks and one or more slot numbers within the one or more sub-blocks by the reference number of the physical server, the sub-block number that identifies the sub-block of the one or more sub-blocks, and the slot number of the one or more slots; generating a configuration file that includes the selection identifying the at least one physical server of the plurality of physical servers and the selection of the one or more block devices as block device information that associates the physical location of the one or more block devices with the virtual storage pool; accessing the configuration file by a configuration application stored in memory of a computing device, the configuration file including block device information; and automatically generating a virtual storage pool by the configuration application, wherein the virtual storage pool is generated from a plurality of block devices associated with the block device information and with the at least one physical server of the plurality of physical servers.
