Hitachi STORAGE 9900 - Manual (Page 84)

Volume
An IBM ® ESA/390 ® term for the information recorded on a single disk unit or
recording medium. Indirectly, a volume can refer to the unit of recording medium
itself. On a non-removable medium storage device such as a disk drive, the terms may
also refer, indirectly, to the storage device that is associated with the volume. When a
user stores multiple volumes on a single storage medium transparent to the program,
the volumes are referred to as logical volumes.

dispersed and connected by radio waves, telephone lines, satellites, or high-speed fiber
