Data in virtual objects is organized to create volumes by using the following layout methods:

• Concatenation, spanning, and carving

• Striping (RAID-0)

• Mirroring (RAID-1)

• Striping plus mirroring (mirrored-stripe or RAID-0+1)

• Mirroring plus striping (striped-mirror, RAID-1+0 or RAID-10)

• RAID-5 (striping with parity)
