# View volumes associated with OR director

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

## About this task

To view volumes associated with an OR director:

## Steps

1. Select a storage system running PowerMaxOS 10 (6079).
2. Select System > Hardware.
3. Click the OR Directors tab.
4. Select an OR director and click to open its Details view.
5. Click the number next to Volumes to open the Volumes list view.
   Use the Volumes list view to view and manage the volumes in a storage group.
