4.3.1 A Worked Example on Changing the RAM-SAN Configuration
The following sections detail how to change size of the LUNs within the system. We will change the factory configuration that is explained above. The new configuration will consist of three LUNs and have LUN masks that allow only four host machines to access the
For the sake of discussion, we will assume we have four HBAs connected to the same fabric that the
The new configuration will consist of three LUNs that are accessed using two Fibre Channel ports in the
The goal of the example is to create the following configuration:
