3.7 Volume Set Function
A volume set is seen by the host system as a single logical device. It is orga-
nized 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 capac-
ity 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.

1.Volume sets of different RAID levels may coexist on the same raid set.
