LUN Concatenation
LUN concatenation is a function that is used to add new area to a volume and so expand the
volume capacity available to the server. This function enables the reuse of leftover free area in a
RAID group and can be used to solve capacity shortages.
The following example shows the concatenation of an unused area of a different RAID group into
LUN2, in order to expand LUN2's capacity to 900GB.
