When using a Windows dynamic disk , you can use the logical volume manager to group one or

more physical volumes and use the group as one or more logical volumes. Specifying a logical volume

enables users to back up and restore data without needing to consider any physical volume.

The unit for grouping physical volumes and logical volumes is called a disk group.

In Application Agent dynamic disk configuration, a group of one or more dynamic disks and one or

more logical volume groups allocated to a dynamic disk is called a disk set. In Figure 42, part of the

physical volume A is allocated to the logical volume A, and the rest of the physical volume A and

part of the physical volume B are allocated to the logical volume B. Likewise, the rest of the physical

volume B and part of the physical volume C are allocated to the logical volume C, and the rest of the

physical volume C is allocated to the logical volume D. In this case, a group of the four logical volumes

to which the contents of the three physical volumes are allocated is one disk set (disk set 1). Also, if

you allocate all the contents of one physical volume to one logical volume, you can make a one-to-one

relationship disk set (disk set 2).

In the Veritas Storage Foundation environment, when configured, a disk group is recognized as one

or more disk sets. In this environment, Application Agent backs up and restores data using a disk

group as the minimum unit.

The following figure shows examples of a disk set configuration and of a relationship between a disk

group and a disk set.
