Overview of LUN Manager
LUN Manager provides the open-systems user with ways to define the paths for logical units (LUs).
Each LU can be mapped for access from multiple ports, providing the necessary infrastructure to
support alternative path failover, path load balancing and clustered systems. You can use LUN
Manager to reconfigure the LUs while the storage system is online so that you can accommodate
system configuration changes and/or optimize storage system performance.
Overview of LUN Security
LUN Security provides ways for you to protect mission-critical data in your storage system from
unauthorized access, by preventing unauthorized open-systems hosts from either seeing or accessing
the data on the secured LU.
