8. To create the LUN1, type:

lun add=1<Enter>

9. Enter these parameters:

- Enter a label for the LUN1

- For capacity, enter the value in MBytes: 8192 <Enter>

- Enter the number of tiers to use: 2<Enter>

- Select the tier(s) by entering the Tier number. Enter each one on a new line and press the <Enter>

key. The tiers are numbered from 1 through 125.

2 <Enter>

- Enter the block size in Bytes: 512<Enter>

- When asked to format the LUN, type: y<Enter>

NOTE :

LUN format is a background process and you can start adding the next LUN as soon as the

format for the previous LUN has started.
