Virtual Array Installation Guide 47
Valid LUN number ranges are listed in the following table.
A Word About LUN 0
It is recommended that you always create LUN 0. When LUN 0 is created, it is
automatically assigned a LUN security permission of configure-write for all
hosts. This ensures that regardless of which host you install the CommandView
SDM software on, it will be able to manage the array. Because LUN 0 will be
accessible to all hosts, you may want to make the size of the LUN small and
not use it to store any data.
Step 21. Build the Secure Manager LUN Security Table
LUN security is required in a heterogeneous environment and may also be
needed in a homogeneous multi-host environment. For information on
managing LUN security, refer to the
HP StorageWorks Secure Manager VA
User Guide
included in the Secure Manager Software Media Kit (T1003A).
Step 22. Connect All Hosts to the Array
If you followed the recommendation of not connecting all hosts to the array
until the LUN structure and LUN security were in place, this is the time to
connect all host to the array.
Installation of the virtual array is now complete!
