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.
