    Facilitates Dynamic Growth
    As a logical volume manager, VMFS enables an interface to storage resources so that several types of storage (SAN, iSCSI and NAS)
    can be presented as datastores on which VMs can reside. Enabling dynamic growth of those datastores through aggregation of
    storage resources provides the ability to increase a shared storage resource pool without incurring downtime. With the addition of
    VMFS Volume Grow introduced in vSphere, a datastore on block-based storage can now be expanded on an underlying LUN that was
    expanded within the storage array. And VMware also enables dynamic growth of the virtual disk for guest operating systems that
    support this capability.

    A LUN is a logical section of storage. A LUN can be backed by a single disk or multiple disks. It can also be allocated from a disk pool/volume/aggregate depending on the storage vendor’s terminology. A datastore is a description VMware uses for an area of storage that virtual machines can reside on. This includes NFS mounts and does not relate to whether the storage is on a LUN or some other block device, it purely refers to a place where a VM can reside.
