groups are concatenated, a shortcut menu appears.

Creating LUSE volumes
CAUTION: LUSE creation is a destructive operation. Move and/or back up your data before
proceeding.
There are three ways to create a LUSE volume:
• ”Creating LUSE volumes using the Volume Count list” on page 151) (recommended)
• ”Creating LUSE volumes using the Select an LDEV list” on page 152)
• ”Creating LUSE volumes using the LDEV information table” on page 153)
Creating LUSE volumes using the Volume Count list
1. From the Volume Manager pane, select a CU number to create a LUSE volume from the LDEV
Information tree.
2. In the Select an LDEV list, select a top LDEV of the LUSE volume.
The selected top volume appears in the Expanded LDEVs list. Normal LDEVs, CVS volumes, and LUSE
volumes that can be used for a LUSE volume appear in the Free LDEVs table.
3. In the Volume Count list, select the number of LDEVs needed to form a LUSE volume.
The Expanded LDEVs list displays as many LDEVs as specified in the Volume Count list. For example, if
you select 3 in the Volume Count list, three LDEVS appear in the Expanded LDEVs list.
NOTE: You cannot select LUSE volumes in the Volume Count list. To select LUSE volumes, select
LDEVs from the Free LDEVs table, and click Add.

click Delete.

operation on a volume that has a path definition (see ”Volume Manager operations using a
path-defined LDEV” on page 129 for more information about this operation), follow step 4a. If the Set
LUSE Confirmation pane appears, follow step 4b.
