There is no concept of 'vol' on Isilon, the whole thing is 1 filesystem mounted at /ifs .  Everything underneath that is just basically a folder and then files within a folder.  That's it.  Replications, Snapshots, Quotas are all configured at the directory level of your choice within the tree. 

For some best practices on how to lay out the tree, read pages 23-25 of this doc:

https://support.emc.com/docu58740_Isilon_External_Network_Connectivity_Guide_-_Routing,_Network_Topologies,_and_Best_Practices_for_SmartConnect.pdf

The rest of that document should come in very handy if you need help understanding SmartConnect BTW.
