Field

Description

 

 

(Status)

Lists two kinds of data: the LUN’s health and the state of the LUN’s disks.

 

The colored icon in the lower-left corner indicates the LUN’s health. In

 

most cases, there is also a number that represents the RAID type. The

 

possible RAID types are 0, 1, 5, or 10, and the number does not display if

 

the RAID type is different from those.

 

The following are examples of generic LUN status icons:

 

Normal. All disks are operating normally and online.

 

Transitioning. One or more disks are in a transitioning state. For example,

 

rebuilding or binding. RAID type is 1 in this case.

 

Faulted/Offline. One or mores disks is offline or faulted. RAID type is 10 in

 

this case.

 

Unknown. Status is not available.

 

 

Array

A group of disks designated by the user to be managed by the RAID-5

 

technique.

 

 

Assigned LUNs (Count)

All LUNs assigned (masked) to host ports that currently exist on this

 

storage device.

 

 

Assigned LUNs (Size GB)

The total amount of storage space carved into LUNs and assigned

 

(masked) to host ports on the storage device.

 

 

Block Size (B)

The size of the individual blocks on the disk, in bytes.

 

 

Device Adapter

(IBM ESS products only) Displays one of eight ESS product adapters

 

deployed in pairs, one for each cluster that provides communication

 

between the cluster and storage products.

 

 

Disks

The number of disks across which this LUN is striped.

 

 

Free LUNs (Count)

All LUNs NOT assigned (masked) to any host ports (available) that

 

currently exist on this storage device.

 

 

Free LUNs (Size GB)

The total amount of storage space carved into LUNs but NOT assigned

 

(masked) to host ports on the storage device, in gigabytes.

 

 

Free Space (Count)

The number of contiguous free space instances not yet carved into LUNs

 

(available to be carved) on the storage device. Typically, there is one free

 

space for each disk group on a storage device.

 

 

Free Space (Size GB)

The total amount of storage space not carved into a LUN (available for

 

new LUNs) on the storage device, in gigabytes.

 

 

Hosts Assigned

The number of hosts to which this LUN has been assigned.

 

 

Host Spares

The number of disks assigned as host spares in addition to the disks that

 

make up the LUN.

 

 

Label

A user-specified label. The default value is the name of the label as

 

specified in the storage product.

 

 

Loop

(IBM ESS products only) The physical connection between a pair of

 

product adapters in the ESS product.

 

 

LSS ID

Specifies the logical subsystem of an IBM ESS product.

 

 

LUN Name

The name of the LUN.

 

 

LUN Status

The LUN status (online or offline).
