What are the types of Meta LUNs in Symmetrix? Is there any difference in Meta LUNs in Legacy Symmetrix and DMX series?

abstract:
EMC CLARiiON metaluns - similar to EMC Symmetrix metavolumes are a collection of individual LUNs that act together and are presented to a host or application as a single storage entity. MetaLUNs allow users to expand existing volumes on the fly. They are created by taking existing LUNs and fusing them together: This is odne in 2 ways:
FLARE LUNs can be concatenated from heterogeneous components, or they can be striped across homogeneous components. The former provides optimum flexibility, the latter can provide higher performance in certain environments...
