The

 

logical

a

 

RAID

 

LUN

 

indicates

 

a

 

smaller

 

logical

created

 

in

 

a

 

RAID

 

group.

  

After

 

a

 

RAID

 

LUN

 

is

 

created

 

in

 

a

 

RAID

 

group,

 

the

 

RAID

 

LUN

 

directly

A

 

client

 

can

 

access

 

a

 

logical

 

resource

 

after
