7 Volume groups are not represented in the provisioning or properties of IBM DS type storage
systems. The HSGs are based on a host connection, which does not give any indication as to
which volume groups each of them belongs. Volume group can have many host connections, but
only one host connection can be part of a volume group.
See the following topics for more information about how storage provisioning works on your storage
system.

1 (Engenio, CLARiiON, Sun 6130 and Sun
35xx) Create a storage pool. Sometimes
referred to as a volume group or RAID group.
A storage pool is a group of disks associated
together through a RAID configuration. The
pool’s capabilities define the level of protection
for the associated volumes and LUNs.
EMC Symmetrix and HDS storage systems have
storage pools that are predefined. Engenio
and CLARiiON storage systems require a
storage pool to be created and volumes to be
allocated from a storage pool.
