    A default storage unit is created when you configure appliance first time. You can only have one PureDisk storage unit and one Advanced Disk storage unit created per appliance. You cannot create multiple storage unit of each type.

    Answering the question - once you've created disk pools, you will have two storage units created automatically.

    If you want more, just go to Administration console, click on storage units, then right click, create new storage unit and refer it to one of the pools

I can only think of one use of them, when you want to limit bandwidth usage for duplications, it is defined per stream in NBU so if you don't want to limit bandwidth for your normal backups, you can create a storage unit for duplications to use and allow minimal number of streams to be just in the defined limit.
