Creating logical units on the NetApp FAS

To create logical units, you must identify a volume from which to create the logical unit and specify the amount of space to use.

1. Log on to the NetApp FAS.
2. Go to Filer View and authenticate.
3. Click Volumes and identify a volume to use to create an LU.
   A list of volumes is displayed.
4. Identify a volume that has sufficient free space for the LUN size that you want to use.
   The volume name is used later in Step 7.
5. Click LUNs on the left panel.
6. Click Add in the list.
7. Enter the following information:
   1. In the Path field, enter /vol/volx/lun_name
      Where volx is the name of the volume from Step 4 and lun_name is a generic name.
   2. In the LUN Protocol Type field, enter Linux.
   3. Leave the Description field blank.
   4. In the Size field, enter a LUN size.
   5. In the Units field, enter the LUN size in units.
   6. Select the Space Reserved box.
      Note: If the Space Reserved box is not selected and the file system is full, the LUN goes offline. The storage pool also goes offline and you cannot access the volumes.
   7. Click Add.
      Note: To check the LUN settings, go to the Manage LUNs section and click the LUN you want to view. Ensure that the Space Reserved setting is set.
