3. Volume Set Function (C)
A volume set is seen by the host system as a single logical device, and 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 disk
capacity available in a RAID Set, and multiple Volume Sets can exist on a group of disks in a
RAID Set. All Volume Sets created in a specified RAID Set will reside on all the physical disks
in the RAID Set, and the data spread evenly across all the disks in the RAID Set.
