Overview

The LUN expansion feature provides the capability of combining two or more existing logical units into a single unit. The procedure includes designating a main logical unit and then adding other ("sub") logical units to it. The expanded LUN is called a unified logical unit.  LUN expansion can be reversed by removing the last logical unit combined with the main logical unit.  The unified logical unit can also be separated back into the original logical units.  The procedures for expanding or contracting a logic unit are included below.
