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. The
following is the volume set features for the RAID subsystem.
1. Volume sets of different RAID levels may coexist on the same RAID set.
2. Up to 128 volume sets can be created in a RAID set.
3. The maximum addressable size of a single volume set is not limited to two TB,
because the controller is capable of 64-bit LBA mode. However the operating system
itself may not be capable of addressing more than 2TB.
