3.6 Volume Set Function
The Volume Set Function option (Figure 3-11) allows you to manage the Volume Sets on the
disk array. A Volume Set is seen by the host system as a single logical device. It is organized in
a RAID configuration with one or more physical disks within a RAID set. The RAID configuration
will determine the performance, redundancy, and capacity of the Volume Set. A Volume Set can
consume all or a portion of the disk capacity available in a RAID Set. Multiple Volume Sets can
exist on a group of disks in a RAID Set.
The following is the volume set features for the freeStor Xpand 1500C:
•
Volume sets of different RAID levels can coexist on the same raid set.
•
Up to 16 volume sets can be created in one RAID set.
