Array LUNs

You can use Storage Manager to assign array LUNs to an existing aggregate and manage array LUNs.

  • Assigning array LUNs
    You can use Storage Manager to assign unassigned array LUNs to an existing aggregate to increase the size of the aggregate.
  • Reassigning spare array LUNs to nodes
    You can use Storage Manager to reassign the ownership of spare array LUNs from one node to another to increase the capacity of an aggregate.
  • Zeroing spare array LUNs
    You can use Storage Manager to erase all the data and to format the spare array LUNs by writing zeros to the array LUNs. These array LUNs can then be used in new aggregates.
  • About disks and array LUNs
    A disk is the basic unit of storage for storage systems that use ONTAP software to access native disk shelves. An array LUN is the basic unit of storage that third-party storage arrays provide to storage systems that run ONTAP software.
  • Array LUNs window
    The Array LUNs window enables you to assign ownership to your array LUNs and to add them to an aggregate.
