To start the process of creating a volume, navigate to the Volumes menu and click the  Volumes  option of the IBM Spectrum Virtualize GUI Basic volumes are supported in any system topology and are common to all configurations.  Basic volumes can be of any type of virtualization: striped, sequential, or image. They can  also use any type of capacity savings: thin-provisioning, compressed, or none. Deduplication  can be configured with thin-provisioned and compressed volumes in data reduction pools for  added capacity savings.
