Setting up LUNs

You must complete several required tasks before you can access your LUNs including verifying your protocol license, enabling iSCSI or FC, creating your LUNs, and mapping your LUNs to igroups.

Prerequisites for setting up LUNs
Setting up LUNs involves creating a LUN, creating an igroup, and mapping the LUN to the igroup. Your system must meet certain prerequisites before you can set up your LUNs.
Verifying the license for FC or iSCSI
Before you can enable block access for a storage virtual machine (SVM) with FC or iSCSI, you must have a license.
Configuring an SVM for iSCSI
To configure a storage virtual machine (SVM) for iSCSI, you must create LIFs for the SVM and assign the iSCSI protocol to those LIFs.
Configuring an SVM for FC
To configure a storage virtual machine (SVM) for FC, you must create LIFs for the SVM and assign the FC protocol to those LIFs.
Creating LUNs and mapping to igroups
As part of configuring your SAN environment, you must create LUNs, create your initiator groups (igroups), and map your LUNs to your igroups.
Enabling block access for a specific host
You must enable block access on your specific host so that your initiators can access your targets.
