About creating a LUSE volume
A LUSE volume is collection of two or more basic volumes that have been grouped together to increase
available capacity.
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.
