Managing Volumes
A Storage Center volume is a logical unit of storage that servers can access over a network. You can allocate more logical space to a
volume than is physically available on the Storage Center.
Attributes That Determine Volume Behavior
When a volume is created, attributes are associated with the volume to control its behavior.
Attribute Description
Storage Type Species the disk folder, tier redundancy, and data page size of the
storage used by the volume.
Storage Prole Controls the RAID type, storage tiers, and data progression behavior
for pages used by the volume.
Snapshot Prole Describes when to take periodic snapshots (also known as point-in-
time copies) for one or more volumes and the time at which
snapshots are deleted (expired).
QoS Prole Species a prole to apply to volumes, to potentially limit I/Os that
the volumes can perform, and also denes their relative priority
during times of congestion.
