EMCFib re Channel Storage-System Configuration Planning
Planning File Systems and LUNs with Shared Switched Storage
Planning Applications, LUNs, and Storage Groups
This section helps you plan your shared storage use — the
applications to run, the LUNs that will hold them, and the Storage
Groups that will belong to each server. The worksheets to help you
do this include
•Application and LUN planning worksheet - lets you outline your
storage needs.
•LUN and Storage Group planning worksheet - lets you decide on
the disks to compose the LUNs and the LUNs to compose the
Storage Groups for each server.
•LUN details worksheet - lets you plan each LUN in detail.
Make as many copies of each blank worksheet as you need. You will
need this information later when you configure the shared storage
system.
Sample worksheets appear later in this chapter.

Application and LUN Planning

Use the following worksheet to list the applications you will run and
the RAID type and size of LUN to hold them. For each application
that will run in the SAN, write the application name, file system (if
any), RAID type, LUN ID (ascending integers, starting with 0), disk
space required, and finally the name of the servers and operating
systems that will use the LUN.
