Understanding LUNs and Viewing LUN Information

The controller supports up to 64 SCSI LUNs numbered 0-63. There are three (3) different types

of LUNs: controller, SEP, and partition. The user can view information about each LUN (refer

to section "Viewing LUN Information" for further information).

Controller LUN - The user only needs to assign a controller LUN if using the Configuration

Application Program Interface (CAPI) to configure the controller over a

host channel via SCSI protocol extensions. If not using CAPI, the user can

set the controller LUN to NONE. If using CAPI, the user can set it to a value

of 0-63.

NOTE:

Most UNIX, LINUX, and Macintosh operating systems require the controller LUN to

be a higher value than all array LUNs. Before creating the first array, change the

controller LUN to a higher value or choose NONE (best option) if not using CAPI to

manage the arrays. This allows the first array to be seen at LUN 0.

SEP LUNs -

Allow access to SEPs. An SEP LUN may be set to a value of 0-63 or NONE.

NONE means that the SEP cannot be accessed via a LUN (refer to section

"Changing the SEP LUN" for further information).

Partition LUNs - Allow access to partitions on the controller. Partition LUNs may be set to

any numeric value from 0-63 (refer to section "Changing a Partition LUN"

for further information).
