Introduction
The Lightning 9900 V Series provides “virtual” Fibre Channel ports that are logically managed by intelligent Fibre Channel controller cards. Each physical Fibre Channel port may have multiple Host Storage Domains. A Host Storage Domain supports a “logical” Fibre Channel port Fig. 7 each with its own set of LUNs. Hosts are matched to their assigned HSD based on a unique World Wide Names WWNs identifier. LUN security provided by Hitachi SANtinel software fences access to LUNs based upon host WWNs. Under this innovative software structure, each of multiple host systems may have its own unique LUN 0, from which it can boot, within its own Host Storage Domain

Management Framework and
The HiCommand
A Powerful and Open Systems Management Philosophy
Hitachi Data Systems recognizes that no single vendor can meet all the storage requirements for today’s enterprises. That’s why Hitachi Data Systems provides an open management platform, based on industry-standardmanagement protocols, along with high-value-addfunctional components, such as policy-basedautomation and heterogeneous device management. This allows customers to incorporate multiple vendor offerings to create a truly complete solution for managing and monitoring their storage environments. HiCommand Management Framework supports a modular, building-blockapproach to designing and addressing business-specificstorage management requirements. As a result, this framework enables customers to build the most suitable management environment
