Masking and Unmasking LUNs (Windows)

LUN masking refers to whether or not a LUN is visible to the operating system. A LUN

that has been masked is not available and is not visible to the operating system. You can

use the OneCommand Manager application to mask or unmask LUNs at the host level.

Note: The LUN Masking tab is not shown in Virtual Port view because LUN masking

is not available for virtual ports.
