Volume
A logical object that is the basic structure created on the Storage Array to store data.
One or more volumes are configured across a volume group, and each volume is seen
by the operating system as one drive.
Volume Group
A set of drives that are logically grouped together by the controllers in a Storage Array.
Each volume group is assigned an appropriate RAID level to meet application needs
for data availability and I/O performance. The RAID level is a volume group
parameter, not a volume parameter.
Free Capacity A contiguous region of unassigned capacity on a designated volume group. The space
can be used to create one or more volumes.
Note: In the Array Management Window Logical View, free capacity is shown as Free
Capacity Nodes. Multiple Free Capacity nodes can exist on a volume group.
Unconfigured Capacity Capacity present in the Storage Array from drives that have not been assigned to a
volume group. The space can be used to create new volume groups.
Note: In the Array Management Window Logical View, unconfigured capacity is shown
as an Unconfigured Capacity Node.
