IASP refers to Independent Auxiliary Storage pool. It is also known as independent disk pool. It is basically a collection of disk units which forms a separate storage pool which can be brought offline or online without impacting the system default storage or system ASP. Auxiliary storage is the permanent disk space that we assign to the system in the form of disk units which of course can be physical or virtual.
