EMC Fibre Channel Storage Systems Configuration Planning Guide
Planning LUNs and File Systems with Unshared Direct Storage
Planning Applications and LUNs
This section helps you plan your unshared (direct) storage use
applications you want to run and the LUNs that will hold them. The
worksheets to help you do this include
Application and file system planning worksheet - lets you outline
your storage needs.
LUN planning worksheet - lets you decide on the disks that will
compose the LUNs.
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 file system, Storage Group, and LUN worksheets appear later
in this chapter.
Application and LUN Planning
Use the following worksheet to plan your file systems and RAID
types. For each application, 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.
