| The initiator name of a device is obtained from the Configuration Manager program. |
|
| There, select the device. Then, click the iSCSI tab. You can copy the iSCSI Initiator name |
|
| to the clipboard. |
|
| Alternatively, the initiator name can be obtained from the VRM Configurator or the Web |

5.5 | Creating LUNs | |
| 38. | Calculate the size for each LUN. |
|
| In the navigation panel, select Volumes > Manage. Here, the available size of the volume |
|
| is displayed. Divide that value by 16 to get the size of each individual LUN. |
|
| |
| NOTICE! | |
| Each storage system needs a minimum of 16 LUNs to provide the best performance. | |
| A total of 16 LUNs is considered best practice. | |
i | If you already know that you will add additional storage shelves, you may consider to create | |
less than 16 LUNs here, as additional LUNs will be created for the additional volumes. In that | ||
case, divide the size available for the volume by the number of LUNs you plan to create for the | ||
volume.
Example: For a total of four volumes you might want to create four LUNs for each volume, giving you a total of 16 LUNs.
