No real-life limit... the pool id is stores as an integer in the catalog 
and, as far as I know, you can use 64 bits although the default is 32 
bits. Obviously, you'll want volumes in each pool, which are also 
identified by an integer of the same size.

With signed 32-bit integers (31 bits usable), and 8 volumes per pool, 
you could create up to 2^(31-3) pools... 268435456 pools should be 
enough even if you have many departments :-)

Just create all the pools you need... when you encounter limits (not by 
database size, disk space, etc.) ask how to make sure 64 bits are used 
for ID values :-)
