Adding an LSU
Add an LSU to a storage server to present the storage capacity of the
DXi8500 as an LSU that is compatible with backup applications that
support OST. You can add an LSU with a specific capacity, or you can
add an LSU that uses the available capacity of the DXi8500.
Note: You must create a storage server before you can add an LSU
(see Adding a Storage Server on page 321).
