Planning File Systems and LUNs with Shared Switched Storage
Application and LUN Planning Worksheet
A sample worksheet begins as follows:
Completing the Application and LUN Planning Worksheet
Application. Enter the application name or type.
File system, partition, or drive. Write the drive letter (for Windows
only) and the partition, file system, logical volume, or drive letter
name, if any.
With a Windows operating system, the LUNs are identified by drive
letter only. The letter does not help you identify the disk
configuration (such as RAID 5). We suggest that later, when you use
the operating system to create a partition on a LUN, you use the disk
administrator software to assign a volume label that describes the
RAID configuration. For example, for drive T, assign the volume ID
RAID5_T. The volume label will then identify the drive letter.
