Virtual Volume
Virtual Volume is useful when creating iSCSI targets. A virtual volume is a dedicated disk area created to mimic a disk drive.
It virtualizes a system and breaks down the physical disks into smaller “pieces” called extents. This allows spreading a single
virtual disk across many physical disks, such parallelizing of the disk access can deliver improved performance over non-
virtualized systems. The DNS-340L works best with 4 hard drives with the same capacity.
Select Virtual Volume from the side menu under the Disk Management
tab.
