This is a MD1000. I'm not even sure if there is an option for a new LUN. It might just be the Dell OpenManage and creating a new virtual disk as far as I know.<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a Dell PowerVault MD feeding a bunch of servers through iSCSI. At one point I had to give 20Gb extra space to one of the servers due to some backup issues. Now I want to reclaim the space in the SAN drive so I can use it for other servers. I shrunk the volume in the server and now the 20Gb sit there as unallocated space. How do I get it back into the SAN drive as empty space?<br />
<br />
SAN server is a W2k8 R2 machine and the server is a 2012 server. <br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you!

Reclaim SAN space

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage
