Logical Drive and LUN Numbering Strategy
A suggested strategy is to create a logical drive for each blade server. Each
logical drive has its own LUN. The LUN is 0 so the blade server can boot from it.
This strategy is followed throughout this document. You are free to use a different
strategy that better meets your needs.
