Managing logical disks (LUNs)

NOTE:

Logical disk (LUN) expansion is a direct request to the subsystem to expand the logical disk size

using unused space. The servers that have access to this logical disk might not recognize the new space for

the disk until the server is rebooted or some software is invoked to discover the new size. In Windows, for

example, you can use the Diskpart command-line utility to extend the volume to the newly-added space. In

Linux, you can use the

lvextend

command to extend the size of a logical volume.
