How to Create a Logical Volume Use this procedure to create a logical volume from unassigned storage capacity. Sun storage documentation uses the following terms: Note – Logical volume Logical device Logical unit number (LUN) This manual uses logical volume to refer to all such logical constructs. This procedure relies on the following prerequisites and assumptions.
