Dell PowerStore Configuring Volumes

Volume groups overview

A volume group is a logical container for a group of volumes.

A volume group provides a single point of management for multiple storage resources that work together as a unit.

You can use volume groups to achieve the following:

1. A simpler and easier way to manage and monitor resources.
2. Maintaining consistency across multiple volumes.

For example, you can use volume groups to monitor metrics and manage data protection for development applications, user applications, and user storage resources. You can also use volume groups to separate the management of test environments from development environments.

Volume groups for a PowerStore appliance are dynamic and can be adjusted as your requirements change. You can add new members to a volume group or delete them from a volume group after it is created.
