# About volumes

A volume represents a logical disk provisioned from a storage pool on a storage system. You can attach volumes to one or more servers by configuring a volume attachment in the server profile. The volume attachment manages volume presentation on the storage system ( StoreServ port selection, host and vlun creation) as well as SAN zoning on SANs (with automatic zoning enabled) that connect the server and storage system.

Using volume templates, you can create multiple volumes with the same configuration.

You can increase (grow) the capacity of a volume by editing it. You cannot decrease the capacity of a volume.
