See System Administrator's Guide: page 72 Disk Concepts, page 80 Volume Concepts.

Raid Groups are subsets of Volumes, not the other way around (for NetApp filers).

You can use qtrees to effectively partition your volume if you need to rather than creating separate volumes.

Hello, I just got my two new 760s with 2 shelves of 36G drives each. I am going through the setup and have a question on Volumes and Raid Groups. Can I create two shelves into one big raid group in order to take advantage of all the spindles, and then create two volumes on that raid group? Or do I have to create 2 raid groups (thus using an extra parity drive) and have 1 volume living on 1 raid group.
