text: **Note:**The ability to create HyperSwap volumes by using the GUI simplifies creation and 
  configuration. 
  
  To start the process of creating a volume, navigate to the Volumes menu and click the 
  **Volumes**option of the IBM Spectrum Virtualize GUI 
  
  **7.2.1 Creating basic volumes**
  
  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. 
  
  To create a basic volume, click**Basic**as shown in Figure 7-11 on page 260. This action 
  opens Basic volume menu where you can define the following parameters: 
  
  (cid:2) Pool: The Pool in which the volume is created (drop-down menu). 
  
  (cid:2) Quantity: Number of volumes to be created (numeric up or down). 
  
  (cid:2) Capacity: Size of the volume in specified units (drop-down menu). 
  
  (cid:2) Capacity Savings (drop-down menu): 
  
  – None 
  – Thin-provisioned 
  – Compressed 
  
  (cid:2) Name: Name of the volume (cannot start with a number). 
  
  (cid:2) I/O group.
