Allocating CLARiiON devices (LUNs) to a host
This example demonstrates allocating storage from a CLARiiON
®
CX600 array to an
IBM AIX application server (l82ar156). The storage administrator is adding 10 GB of
RAID 5 storage to the host.
The administrator completes the following tasks to allocate storage from the CLARiiON
array:
◆ Ensures the CLARiiON storage is accessible from the host
◆ Finds the available storage
◆ Creates new LUNs if necessary
◆ Adds LUNs to an existing storage group (or creates a new one) so the host sees
the LUNs
Determining if storage is available on the CLARiiON array
The administrator determines if there is available storage on the CLARiiON array
through a StorageScope Array Summary report.
