1.3 Functions<br />

1.3.6 LUN Concatenation<br />

LUN concatenation is a function that is used to add new area to a volume and so expand the<br />

volume capacity available to the server. This function enables the reuse of leftover free area in a<br />

RAID group and can be used to solve capacity shortages.<br />

The following example shows the concatenation of an unused area of a different RAID group into<br />

LUN2, in order to expand LUN2's capacity to 900GB.<br />
