When we need extra disks or storage on the servers then we can add the physical disks to the server or we can add the disks from our SAN storage systems like 3PAR, MSA etc. To add a disk to a server first we have to create a new logical volume on SAN and after that, we have to export that volume to the server. We can export the virtual volumes on physical machines as well as virtual machines. In this post, I have created a new virtual volume on 3PAR SAN 7400.
