Using the SAN Manager LM application on a Windows NT host, you can assign the
following types of LUNs (devices) to HP-UX hosts: Unknown/Raw, NTFS/FAT. If you intend
to use these types of LUNs in an HP-UX environment, the necessary HP-UX file systems
(HFS or VxFS) must be created.
Note HFS and VxFS disks that have been formatted on HP-UX hosts are not
displayed with a special icon badge in the SAN Manager LM administration
application. To keep track of your HP-UX devices, HP recommends storing
them in a device group called “HP-UX devices.” For more information about
device groups, see the SAN Manager LM Administrator’s Guide.
Unknown/Raw and NTFS/FAT
Unknown/raw and NTFS/FAT disks are displayed with device names in /dev/rdsk and
/dev/dsk on HP-UX hosts. These device names are used to build HFS or VxFS (VERITAS)
file systems using HP-UX storage utilities such as newfs, SAM, or LVM.
Caution To use an NTFS/FAT device on an HP-UX host, you must format it with an HFS
or VxFS file system, which will erase Microsoft’s FAT/NTFS file system and all
data on the disk prior to formatting.
