Use one of these methods to create a LUSE volume in the LUN Expansion (LUSE) window:
•
Using the LDEV Detail table.
•
Using Select an LDEV list box in the LDEV Operation detail.

Procedure 8 To create a LUSE volume using the Volume Count list box
1. In the Remote Web Console main window, click to change to Modify mode.
2. In the LUN Expansion window, in the LDEV information tree, select a CU number to use to
create a LUSE volume.

The selected top volume appears in the Expanded LDEVs list. Normal LDEVs and LUSE volumes
that can be used for a LUSE volume appear the Free LDEVs list.
Use the lists in the upper right of the Free LDEVs list to narrow entries in this table. If you select
an LDKC and a CU from the LDKC and CU lists, the Free LDEVs table lists only the LDEVs
belonging to the selected LDKC and CU.
4. In Volume Count, specify the number of LDEVs needed to form the LUSE volume.
Expanded LDEVs lists the number of LDEVs specified in the Volume Count box. For example,
if you specified 3 in Volume Count, three LDEVs appear in Expanded LDEVs.
5. Add LDEVs to the LUSE volume until you reach the number specified in Volume Count.
•
To add more LDEVs to the Expanded LDEVs list, select normal LDEVs or LUSE volumes
from Free LDEVs, and then click Add.
