Setting Up a SAN Volume

Step 8:

Label and Initialize LUNs (RAID Arrays)

Next, prepare (label and initialize) available LUNs for use with the Xsan file system. Each
LUN represents a RAID array or slice you set up using RAID Admin.

1

In Xsan Admin, click LUNs on the Setup pane.

Responding storage devices are listed by name and size. You should see one LUN for
each RAID array or slice you created on Xserve RAID systems attached to the SAN’s
Fibre Channel network.

If some newly created LUNs are not listed, click Refresh or wait a moment for them to
appear. If they still don’t appear, quit Xsan Admin, restart the computer, and try again.

2

Select a LUN and click Edit.

3

Type a label for the LUN and click OK.

4

Repeat for each unlabeled LUN.

5

Click Save to initialize the LUNs.

You can now organize the LUNs into storage pools and volumes.
