Hitachi LUN Manager is an open systems management utility. 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
