LUSEFunction

Open VolumeManagement.

TheLUSE function isapplied toopen-system logicalvolumesandenablesyou toconfigureone large

logical

by

The

LUSE

function

allows

hosts

that

can

Figure1onpage 11 shows the LUSE configuration. ByusingtheLUSEfunction,youcancombineseveral

Preparing

for

LUSE

Operations

Thischapterdescribes theenvironmentyouneed toprepare inordertooperateLUSE.

System

Requirements

TooperateLUNExpansion(LUSE),youneed the following items:

• HPstoragesystem(orsimplystoragesystemwhereapplicablehereafter)

• HPStorageWorksXPRemote WebConsolecomputer

• LicensedLUNExpansionsoftware

Note : To

use

the

LUSE

function,

you

need

the

software

called

Open

Volume

Management.

Note

that

thissoftware isonly foropensystems.

Preparing

to

Use

LUSE

Before

starting

a

LUSE

operation

on

a

selected

storage

system,

make

sure

that

you

unmount

theopen-system

volumes

and/or

remove

the

LU

paths

to

the

open

volumes.

For

instructions

on

removing

LU

paths,seeHP StorageWorksXP24000 LUN Manager User’sGuide .
