Re: like to know whether it is better to extend the existing LUNs or create a new one.

Hi @Gauresh , 
The diferences are as follows-
      a. Extending procedure will be very easy than creating new LUN.
      b. Extending the LUN and using for migration may have less performance than the new LUN.
      c. New LUN creation may be good for a scalability and LUN expansions in future.
Analyse the pros and cons and your current storage, speed, connectivity and other factors, you can opt either migration or new LUN creation.
I hope, my post helps you in selecting the storage option,  if yes, please give Kudos and mark my post as Accepted Solutions.
