About Volumes
Volumes provide the storage allocation structure within the PS Series group.
To access storage in a PS Series group, you allocate portions of a storage pool to volumes. You can create a volume on a single group
member or one that spans multiple group members. You assign each volume a name, size, and a storage pool. The group
automatically load balances volume data across pool members.
