A drive partnership group is a collection of drives of the same drive type that have been combined into a hidden dynamic pool object. Each drive within a dynamic pool can only be part of a single drive partnership group, and a drive will never change the drive partnership group. The maximum size of a drive partnership group is 32 drives, regardless of the drive type or size. When expanding a dynamic pool, the system will automatically create new drive partnership groups as needed, and distribute the drives evenly across the groups. The number of drive partnership groups in a dynamic pool is equal to the number of drives divided by
32, rounded up to the nearest integer. References: Dell Unity: Dynamic Pools2, page 5.
