Glossary 337
Volume
A
Volume is a fixed amount of storage. One Volume can span over more than one
physical hard disk drive. It all depends on how you set up your Volumes . The controller
treats one or more hard disk drives or unused space on a hard disk drive as a single array.
A
Volume provides the ability to concatenate storage from various hard disk drives
regardless of the size of the space on those hard disk drives. A Volume is useful in
scavenging space on hard disk drives unused by other arrays. A Volume does not provide
any performance or data redundancy benefit.
WAN
Wide-Area Network. Two or more LANs connected together.
WDS

network with a unique name. In IP SAN, all nodes (initiators, targets, management) must
have a WWN.
