Auto grow is for volumes, not for LUNs. NetApp won't grow LUN on its own.

Autogrowing thin volumes and LUNs

Hi all,
Just got my FAS2240 up and I'm trying to fire up my VMware environment. My first task is setting up my ESXi cluster swap volumes. These are probably the only volumes for which I will enable autogrow to avoid my vhosts freaking out if they need more swap space. On my first cluster, I have set a volume as 50GB, autogrow up to 100GB at 1GB increments. I then created the LUN as 48GB (actual size of physical memory), but I have no autogrow options in the LUN dialogs (I'm doing all of this in the OnCommand System Manager). Everything is thinly provisioned and I'm using iSCSI. How does the LUN know to grow into the volume, etc? Am I supposed to set the LUN size to the full 100GB so that my vhosts see the max size and let the volume actually deal with the physical space consumption?
Sorry. I'm sure this is asked elsewhere but I haven't found a satisfactory answer...
