With Hitachi LUN Manager, open systems Logical Units LUNs can be defined, configured, and maintained. There is no more waiting for the hardware vendor to come and make configuration changes. Hitachi LUN Manager includes an easy-to-use, GUI-basedinterface that allows the easy definition of paths for LUNs, the reconfiguration of LUN-to-portassignments, or the viewing of the Lightning 9900 remote service information messages. Because the Hitachi LUN Manager can assign multiple paths to a single LUN, support of alternate path failover, path load balancing, and clustered systems is possible. Running on a standard Windows-basedPC connected to the storage subsystems by a dedicated LAN, Hitachi LUN Manager can support up to eight Lightning 9900 systems Hitachi CruiseControl Hitachi Data Systems Hitachi SANtinel Storage Maximizer Hitachi Data Systems Professional Services Overview Professional Services and SupportData Protection Services Cost of Risk Analysis methodology CORA Remote Copy Assessment and Implementation Service Data Protection Services LabHitachi NanoCopy Implementation Service Hitachi Data Systems Continuous Availability Service Professional Services and SupportOn-lineData Migration Service SAN services Hitachi Data Systems Software Portfolio Review and Analysis Service the Performance Experiment System Configurations for The 7700E used all 6GB drives Hitachi Data Systems 10BaseT Glossary of Terms100BaseT ACP pair Availability Hitachi Data SystemsBack end Business Continuity Planning BCP CARB GlossaryCache CHIP Consistency Groups Hitachi Data SystemsControl Frame CORA Cost of Risk Analysis Glossary Disaster RecoveryData Duplication Data Migration EBCDIC Hitachi Data SystemsElectronic vaulting ESA/390 Failover GlossaryFast Ethernet Fast write Hitachi Data Systems File BackupFICON Front End Glossary Hitachi FlashAccessHDmS Hitachi CruiseControl Hitachi Data Systems Hitachi Multiplatform Backup/RestoreHitachi InstantSplit Hitachi LUN Manager Glossary Hitachi Rapid RecoveryHitachi Resource Manager Hitachi SANtinel HXRC Hitachi Extended Remote Copy Hitachi Data SystemsHYPERtape Java Glossary Logical VolumeLightning 9900 Series Logical Unit MBCP Hitachi Data SystemsMIPS Meta-data MTBF GlossaryMTTR NanoCopy On-linesystem Hitachi Data SystemsOpen system Operating System Glossary Recovery TimeRAID RAID Controllers Hitachi Data Systems SwitchSCSI Snapshot Volume Virtual Logical Volume Image ManagerGlossary Synchronous Warm site Hitachi Data SystemsWorkload Corporate Headquarters Hitachi Data Systems Worldwide OfficesAsia Headquarters Australia/New Zealand Headquarters
