In Windows, for example, you can use the Diskpart command-line utility to extend the volume to the newly-added space. In Linux, you can use the lvextend command to extend the size of a logical volume. Deleting a logical disk Simple SAN Connection Manager provides an easy way to delete logical disks from your SAN.
