3.7 Volume Set Function
A 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 disk 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.
3.7.1 Create Volume Set
The following are Volume Set features:
1.Volume Sets of different RAID levels may coexist on the same RAID Set.
2.Up to 16 Volume Sets in a RAID Set can be created by the SurfRAID TRI-
TON Mini controller.

main menu
and click on the Create Volume Set link. The Select The RAID
Set To Create On It screen will show all RAID Set numbers. Click on a
RAID Set number that you want to create and then click on the Submit but-
ton.

ity, RAID Level, Stripe Size, SCSI ID/LUN, Cache Mode, Tag Queuing and
