I have a pair of xenservers connected via 10Gb Ethernet to a pair of Equalogics SAN devices (iscsi). Needed to expand or increase the size of the LUN that our VDI environment was connected through while maintaining the uptime of the VDI environment. I first extended the available space on the SAN side, so this document is only for the Citrix\/XenServer configuration.<\/p>\n
