Logical unit number (LUN) of the partition on the host
See “Configure a Host-Partition Connection” on page 160 for detailed instructions on
defining this information.
Partition Boundaries
Partition boundaries identify the storage cells, drives, and CAP cells that are part of
each partition. Only unallocated cells can be added to a partition, and only allocated
cells can be removed.
You can define partition boundaries in any of the following ways:
■
Select individual cells or rectangular groups of cells to add or remove from a
partition. Cells or cell groups do not have to be contiguous.
■
Select an entire module side to add or remove from a partition. Sides do not have to
be contiguous.
■
Select an entire module to add or remove from a partition. Modules do not have to
be contiguous.
Sample Partition Configuration
FIGURE 6-1 on page 147 shows a sample SL500 library partition configuration. In this
