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.

the storage used by the volume.

priority during times of congestion.
