About Groupwide Volume Defaults The groupwide volume default settings control certain attributes of all volumes that you create on the group, including the snapshot space, snapshot behavior, thin-provisioning space, sector size, and iSCSI alias naming. You can override many of these settings on a per-volume basis when you create a volume, but unless otherwise specified, these settings are the defaults for all volumes on the group.
