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 DomainLightning 9980V System Control Frame Hitachi Freedom StorageLightning 9900 V Series PackagingLightning 9980V System Array Frames Hitachi Data SystemsPage Hitachi Data Systems Lightning 9900 V Series Front-endDesign of the Hitachi Freedom StorageAbout the Fibre Channel Interface Boards Hitachi Data SystemsA Lightning 9900 V Series system can connect to both mainframe and open system hosts, thereby consolidating the storage for an enterprise under one roof for consistent performance, availability, and ease of management.

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 environmentCIM Benefits to Customers Open, Standards-basedApproachHitachi Data Systems 1.
