A Volume Set is seen by the host system as a single logical drive. It is organized in a
RAID level with two or more physical drives. RAID level refers to the level of data
performance and protection of a Volume Set.
A Volume Set capacity can consume all or a portion of the drive capacity available in a
Raid Set. Multiple Volume Sets can exist on a group of drives in a Raid Set. Additional
Volume Sets created in a specified Raid Set will reside on all the physical drives in the
Raid Set. Therefore, each Volume Set on the Raid Set will have its data spread evenly
across all drives in the Raid Set.
The volume set features are as follows:
•
Volume sets of different RAID levels may co-exist on the same raid set.
•
Up to 16 volume sets can be created in a raid set.
•
The maximum addressable size of a single volume set is 2 TB.
