With Hitachi LUN Manager, open systems Logical Units LUNs can be defined, configured, and maintained. There is no more waiting for the hardware vendor to come and make configuration changes. Hitachi LUN Manager includes an easy-to-use, GUI-basedinterface that allows the easy definition of paths for LUNs, the reconfiguration of LUN-to-portassignments, or the viewing of the Lightning 9900 remote service information messages. Because the Hitachi LUN Manager can assign multiple paths to a single LUN, support of alternate path failover, path load balancing, and clustered systems is possible. Running on a standard Windows-basedPC connected to the storage subsystems by a dedicated LAN, Hitachi LUN Manager can support up to eight Lightning 9900 systems Hitachi Data Systems Hitachi CruiseControlStorage Maximizer Hitachi SANtinelHitachi Data Systems Professional Services and Support Professional Services OverviewData Protection Services Cost of Risk Analysis methodology CORAData Protection Services Lab Remote Copy Assessment and Implementation ServiceHitachi NanoCopy Implementation Service Hitachi Data SystemsProfessional Services and Support Continuous Availability ServiceOn-lineData Migration Service SAN servicesSoftware Portfolio Review and Analysis Service Hitachi Data SystemsSystem Configurations for the Performance ExperimentHitachi Data Systems The 7700E used all 6GB drivesGlossary of Terms 10BaseT100BaseT ACP pairHitachi Data Systems AvailabilityBack end Business Continuity Planning BCPGlossary CARBCache CHIPHitachi Data Systems Consistency GroupsControl Frame CORA Cost of Risk AnalysisDisaster Recovery GlossaryData Duplication Data MigrationHitachi Data Systems EBCDICElectronic vaulting ESA/390Glossary FailoverFast Ethernet Fast writeFile Backup Hitachi Data SystemsFICON Front EndHitachi FlashAccess GlossaryHDmS Hitachi CruiseControlHitachi Multiplatform Backup/Restore Hitachi Data SystemsHitachi InstantSplit Hitachi LUN ManagerHitachi Rapid Recovery GlossaryHitachi Resource Manager Hitachi SANtinelHitachi Data Systems HXRC Hitachi Extended Remote CopyHYPERtape JavaLogical Volume GlossaryLightning 9900 Series Logical UnitHitachi Data Systems MBCPMIPS Meta-dataGlossary MTBFMTTR NanoCopyHitachi Data Systems On-linesystemOpen system Operating SystemRecovery Time GlossaryRAID RAID ControllersSwitch Hitachi Data SystemsSCSI SnapshotVirtual Logical Volume Image Manager VolumeGlossary SynchronousWorkload Hitachi Data SystemsWarm site Hitachi Data Systems Worldwide Offices Corporate HeadquartersAsia Headquarters Australia/New Zealand Headquarters
