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-345 works best with 4 hard drives with
the same capacity.
