2.1.7 Exascale Volume Groups

Oracle Exadata System Software release 25.2.0 introduces volume groups in Exascale. A volume group is a specific collection of Exascale volumes.

Volume groups can be used to:

• Easily identify volumes with a common purpose or inherent relationship, such as the volumes with a specific virtual machine (VM).

• Efficiently create point-in-time consistent snapshots of all volumes in a volume group.

• Collectively manage I/O resources consumed by all volumes in the group.
