RAID LUNs Not Visible to the Host

Caution –

When mapping partitions to LUN IDs, there must be a LUN 0. Otherwise,

none of the LUNs will be visible.

By default, all RAID arrays are preconfigured with one or two logical drives. For a
logical drive to be visible to the host server, its partitions must be mapped to host
LUNs. To make the mapped LUNs visible to a specific host, perform any steps
required for your operating system. For host-specific information about different
operating systems, see:

Appendix E for the Solaris operating system

Appendix F for Windows 200x Server or Windows 200x Advanced Server

Appendix G for a Linux server

Appendix H for an IBM server running the AIX operating system

Appendix I for an HP server running the HP-UX operating system
