Two types of Lun


Two types of Lun

1.Boot Lun (C drive)
2.Application Lun (D & E drives )


Boot lun :

The server that don't have hard disk in the machine.
For installing operating system, disk will provide from storage side.
Lun means in windows we calling D,E,F drive, in In unix Slide, mount point...etc.
we need to do some configure in HBA, it may be through FC or ISCSI  to communicate server and storage.
when using FC Protocol we need to zone the server wwpn and storage wwpn for basic level.
when using Iscsi protocol we need to give storage Ip address in the server HBA  and Server Mac-Address to storage.
After restarted the server , The Bios will get Lun from the storage.


This is the storage part, beyond this process server team will take care.


Application Lun :

 Application lun is nothing like in windows we saying D drive and E drive, that is called LUN.

Creating LUNs and mapping igroups ( 7 Mode & C - mode )

Setting up LUNs and igroups using individual commands -  ( 7 Mode ) Instead of using LUN setup, you can use individual commands to create LUNs, create igroups, and map the LUNs to the appropriate igroups. Before you begin The LUN type must be specified. About this task After the LUN is created, you cannot modify the LUN host operating system type. Note: You can grow a LUN to approximately 10 times its original size. For example, if you create a 10 GB LUN, you can grow that LUN to approximately 100 GB. However, you cannot exceed 16 TB, which is the approximate maximum size of a LUN. Steps Create a space-reserved LUN by entering the following command on the storage system command line: lun create -s size -t ostype   lun_path -s   size indicates the size of the LUN to be created, in bytes by default. -t   ostype indicates the LUN type. The LUN type refers to the operating system type, which determines the geometry used to store data on the LUN. lu
