b The Storage Subsystem screen appears and prompts you to select at least
one storage subsystem. Select at least one subsystem and click Next.
c The LUN Type screen appears. You can choose the LUN type from the
available types of LUNs. Each LUN type has a maximum size that is
calculated depending on the LUN type. Choose the appropriate LUN
type and click Next.
NOTE: It is important at this point to note that the storage solution LUN size
should not be confused with the size of the iSCSI Target. The iSCSI Target is
configured in a later step and is associated with the storage needed for a
particular application on the host server. It is recommended that the LUN size
on the storage hardware be as large as reasonably possible to allow the
storage subsystem to optimize the use of the physical disks underlying the
LUN that is created. In this case, as shown below, we are choosing to create
one LUN at the maximum size available for this hardware. This iSCSI LUN
cannot accommodate the iSCSI Targets that are created later, based on the
needs of the host application.
d The LUN Name and Size screen appears. Enter the LUN name and
LUN size. Click Next.
