1.what is mean by meta LUN

2.How do we create with EMC navisphere

Refer Page 166 onwards of EMC Navisphere Manager ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE for Step-by-step instructions. (Navisphere Manager Administrator's Guide)

3.Why we are going for metalun

If a storage administrator requires additional space on the existing LUN, typically they go for LUN Expasion.

4. striped or concatenation  difference

- Difference is mentioned in the Image 2. However, I would also suggest to read EMC CLARiiON Best Practices for Performance and Availability for more clarity from performance perspective for metaLUNs.
