How to Attach Segments

You can add segments to existing primary volumes to increase the volume’s total size. You can attach a segment from the same LUN or from a different LUN. Once you add a segment to a volume, you cannot remove it.

You must create a segment before you can attach it to a volume. See “How to Create File Volumes and Segments” on page 18 for information on creating segments.

To attach a segment:

1. In the navigation panel, select File Volume Operations > Attach Segments.
