# View CKD volume details

A storage volume is an identifiable unit of data storage. Storage groups are sets of volumes.

## Prerequisites

See Roles and associated permissions to determine the user roles that can perform this task.

## Steps

1. Select the storage system.
2. Select Hosts > Mainframe.
3. Select a CKD volume and click to open the Details view.

   | NOTE: Depending on the method you used to open this view, some of the following properties may not appear.

   The Details view links you to views displaying objects contained in and associated with the virtual volume. Each link is followed by a number, indicating the number of objects in the corresponding view. For example, clicking the number next to Storage Group opens a view listing the storage groups that are associated with the volume.
