Configuration settings for RamSan systems

The RamSan GUI provides configuration settings and options that can be used with SAN Volume Controller clusters.

LU options and settings

When you create a logical unit (LU), the options in Table 1 are available on RamSan systems.

Table 1. RamSan LU options

Number	Integer	0 - 1023	Next available LUN	0 - 254	Some hosts have known limitations of 254 as their highest LUN ability. One logical unit can appear at multiple LUNs. For example, the same data could appear at LUN 1, LUN 7, and LUN 124.
Size	Integer	1 MB - maximum capacity	Maximum available capacity	Any	MB and GB are BASE2 offerings.
