LUNmääritys

LUNmääritys refers to the process of assigning a Logical Unit Number (LUN) to a host system within a storage area network (SAN) or other storage infrastructure. In storage management, a LUN is a unique identifier for a logical storage unit, such as a virtual disk or partition, that can be accessed by a host. The LUNmääritys process involves the storage administrator or system administrator designating a specific LUN to a particular host, ensuring proper access and data management. This assignment is typically performed using storage management software or protocols like Fibre Channel (FC) or iSCSI, which facilitate communication between the host and storage devices. Once a LUN is assigned, the host can recognize and mount it, enabling data access and storage operations. Proper LUNmääritys is critical for organizing storage resources, preventing conflicts, and maintaining efficient data flow in enterprise environments.
