5.3 Volume Set Function

Volume Set is seen by the host system as a single logical device. It is organized in a
RAID level with one or more physical disks. 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 r aw capacity available in a Raid Set. Multiple
Volume Sets can exist on a group of disks in a Raid Set. Additional Volume Sets
created in a specified Raid Set will reside on all the physical disks in the Raid Set. Thus
each Volume Set on the Raid Set will have its data spread evenly across all the disks in
the Raid Set.
