NetApp : LUN Setup using Filerview



NetApp :  LUN Setup

To open a filerview: http://HOSTNAME


 If you press filerview, it asks for an authentication.


Once successfully authenticated you get this page.


Open LUN setup wizard.

Create a LUN with the volumename and size specification.


Successfully LUN created.

To Manage a LUN. After creating a LUN we need to map it. For mapping, we need to create a initiator group.



Press to Add an initiator group.


In windows 2003 server, install the iscsi initiator. Open the iscsi initiator and find the iqn value.


To create an iscsi initator group add the iqn value in netapp.



To check, go to manage.



Map the LUN to the existing Igroup name.


 Select the igroup name.




Successfully mapped.


In windows 2003 server add the iscsi target portal.



Now the LUN connected.


To check this, open the device manager.


To initialize the disk.



Disk Added. 

Disk Formatted and healthy.

 Now the disk mounted in drive.



We can able to create a files and folders.



All the best .................

  1. Thanks for posting.. Kindly share the document for adding LUN using FC instead of iscsi

  2. Instead of selecting the iscsi protocol select fcp protocol.
    Create igroup for fcp using WWPN.

    Map the LUN to the igroup.

    Rest of all other steps are same.
