Viewing LUN Information
This operation enables you to view the information about all the LUNs on a storage system.
Prerequisites
At least one LUN has been created on the storage system.
Procedure
- Log in to DeviceManager.
- Choose
Provisioning >
LUN.
- View information about the LUNs in the list.Table 5-7 describes related parameters.Table 5-7 LUN parameters
Parameter
Description
Setting
Name
Name of a LUN.
[Example]
LUN001
ID
ID of a LUN.
[Example]
1
Health Status
Indicates whether a LUN is normal.
[Example]
Normal
Running Status
Running status of a LUN.
[Example]
Online
Type
Type of a LUN. The types include:
- Thick LUN
- Thin LUN
[Example]
thick LUN
Use Type
Use type of a LUN.
- Internal: common LUN created in a local storage device.
- External: eDevLUN created for taking over a LUN in a remote storage device.
- PE LUN: PE (Protocol Endpoint) LUN is used for VVol LUNs in VMware software defined storage only. PE is used as an I/O demultiplexer to simplify the connection between VMs and VVol LUNs. When there is a VM operation I/O, the I/O is sent to the corresponding VVol LUN through a PE LUN.
- VVol LUN: provides storage space for VMware VMs.

Internal
Description
Description of a LUN.
[Example]
-
Capacity
Capacity of a LUN. A user specifies the capacity when creating a LUN.
[Example]
1.000 GB
Sectors
Number of the sectors in a LUN.
[Example]
2097152
Allocated Capacity
Storage pool capacity allocated to a LUN. The capacity includes the data capacity and metadata capacity of the LUN (excluding data protection capacity). The metadata capacity occupies about 1% of the LUN data capacity and LUN data protection capacity.
[Example]
1.187 GB
Owning Storage Pool
Storage pool to which a LUN belongs.
[Example]
StoragePool001
Mapping
Mapping status of a LUN, indicating a LUN is mapped to a host or not.
[Example]
Unmapped
Data Protection
Data protection method of a LUN. The protection methods include:
- Snapshot
- Remote Replication
- Clone
- LUN Copy
- HyperMirror
- HyperMetro
[Example]
Clone
WWN
WWN of a LUN.
[Example]
60022a1100037eca45ae3b6100000019
Remote WWN
WWN of a remote LUN.
[Example]
-
Takeover LUN WWN
WWN of the eDevLUN after takeover.
[Example]
-
Masquerading Status
Masquerading status can be:
- No Masquerading
- Basic Masquerading
Applies to eDevLUNs, used for replacing the basic LUN information such as the VID, PID, and LUN WWN.
- Extended Masquerading
Applies to eDevLUNs, used for replacing the basic LUN information and extended LUN information such as the SCSI protocol version, owning controller, and working controller.
- Inherited Masquerading
Applies to local LUNs, used for inheriting the remote LUN information such as the VID, PID, and SCSI protocol version.
- Third-party
Applies to eDevLUNs, used for taking over heterogeneous storage systems from third-party vendors online.
[Example]
No Masquerading
