Volumes and volume groups
A volume is a logical subdivision of a virtual or linear pool and can be attached to hosts.
An attached volume provides addressable storage to a host (for example, a file system partition you create with your operating system or third-party tools). For more information, see Attaching volumes to hosts. For virtual pools, when volumes are added to a pool the data is distributed across the disk groups in the pool. For linear pools, which can only have one disk group per pool, volumes are also added to the pool, which contains the volume data.
