where volume details can be entered. The example shown in Figure 6-13 shows a

Volume migration is described in 6.8, “Migrating a volume to another storage pool” on
page 333. Creating volume copies is described in 6.3.2, “Creating Mirrored volumes using
Volume Creation” on page 306.
Notes:
A Basic volume is a volume whose data is striped across all available managed disks
(MDisks) in one storage pool.
A Mirrored
volume is a volume with two physical copies, where each volume copy can
belong to a different storage pool.
A Custom
volume, in the context of this menu, is either a Basic or Mirrored volume with
customization from the default parameters.
Volume Creation also provides, using the Capacity Savings parameter, the ability to
change the default provisioning of a Basic or Mirrored Volume to Thin-provisioned or
Compressed.
