Disk aggregation

Disk aggregation is the process of combining more than one logical or physical disk drive into a larger logical disk drive.

This is done for various reasons :

• creating a single logical disk with a capacity larger than any of the available physical disks
• providing a simple way to increase disk performance
• a simple way to implement LUN level storage virtualization

• RAID
• Storage Virtualization
