Parity Group Configuration

One parity group consists of a maximum of 20 VDEVs. For RAID5 (7D+1P) or RAID6 (6D+2P) levels,
a maximum of 2,048 fixed-size volumes (FVs) and a certain amount of free space are available
in one VDEV. For other RAID levels, a maximum of 1,024 FVs and a certain amount of free space
are available in one VDEV. Each VDEV in a parity group has the same configuration, and is
assigned the same FVs of the same size and RAID level.

The functions of VLL (Volume to Space, Install CV, Volume Initialize, and Make Volume) are
performed on each VDEV. VDEVs are also separated from each other by the boundary limitation.
Therefore, you cannot define a volume across two or more VDEVs beyond the boundaries.
