EMC Fibre Channel Storage-System Configuration Planning

Planning File Systems and LUNs with Shared Switched Storage

Planning Applications, LUNs, and Storage Groups

This section helps you plan your shared storage use — the

applications to run, the LUNs that will hold them, and the Storage

Groups that will belong to each server. The worksheets to help you

do this include

• Application and LUN planning worksheet - lets you outline your

storage needs.

• LUN and Storage Group planning worksheet - lets you decide on

the disks to compose the LUNs and the LUNs to compose the

Storage Groups for each server.

• LUN details worksheet - lets you plan each LUN in detail.

Make as many copies of each blank worksheet as you need. You will

need this information later when you configure the shared storage

system.

Sample worksheets appear later in this chapter.

Application and LUN Planning

Use the following worksheet to list the applications you will run and

the RAID type and size of LUN to hold them. For each application

that will run in the SAN, write the application name, file system (if

any), RAID type, LUN ID (ascending integers, starting with 0), disk

space required, and finally the name of the servers and operating

systems that will use the LUN.
