4.2.2 Creating VLL volumes The Install VLL volume function allows you to define and install one or more Virtual LVI/LUN
volumes under an existing volume.
Note: The Install VLL volume Function allocates VLL volumes in the order in which the
function finds sufficient free space for the VLL volumes, so for optimum space allocation you
should allocate VLL volumes in descending order of capacity.

Expansion (LUSE)/Virtual LVI/LUN (VLL) button ( ) to open the LUSE/VLL panel.
