Keep it simple, just looking for the basics. Forget over head etc to keep
the numbers simple. VIOS owns eight 140GB drives so total space is 1120GB
Question #1 Can a LUN span disks?
Question #2 What VIOS cmd can I use to see how full or how much space has
been allocated to LUNs on a physical disk?
Question #3 If I make eight 35GB LUNs. Will VIOS place the space for each
LUN on a different physical drive so each drive will now have 105Gb free or
will it stack 4 LUN\s each on of 2 drives or ??
Question #4 If I make the 35GB LUNS above and then make eight 70GB LUNs can
a I still make two 140GB LUNs?

Thanks
