Creating a luse volume – HP XP Array Manager Software User Manual
Page 103
If the capacity of the LUSE volumes or basic volumes that have already been allocated to hosts becomes
insufficient, you can increase capacity by adding unallocated volumes or creating LUSE volumes.
LUSE volumes are created by using volumes that belong to the same resource group, have the same
drive type, and are at the same RAID level. When using FMD/SSD flash drives in a storage system,
you can still create a LUSE volume even if the drive types are different.
NOTE:
For HP XP7, you can not create LUSE volumes.
