[yskw1024]

Hi All,

Anyone know can LUN on DS8100 be extent? just like on EMC to create MetaLUN.

We have a case that we need to expand a LUN on DS8100 storage.

Statement of general direction



IBM plans continuing growth and enhancements to the DS8000 as follows:

Future models in the series are planned to provide customers additional flexibility and scalability. IBM next plans to provide 8-way processors with corresponding scalability from the 2-way and 4-way models currently offered. In addition, physical capacity will be scalable through increased disk drives within a configuration.
Extension of IBM's dynamic provisioning technology within the DS8000 series is planned to provide LUN/volume: dynamic expansion, online data relocation, virtual capacity over provisioning, and space efficient FlashCopy requiring minimal reserved target capacity.
IBM intends to enhance the Virtualization Engine™ partitioning capabilities of selected models of the DS8000 series to provide greater flexibility in the allocation and management of resources between images.
IBM intends to offer a long-distance business continuance solution across three sites allowing for recovery from the secondary or tertiary site with full data consistency.
All statements regarding IBM's plans, directions, and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice. Availability, prices, ordering information, and terms and conditions will be provided when the product is announced for general availability.

HTH,
