NAs protocols cant read them. You can quickly try and share one of your existing LUNs and see what it does. </P><P></P><P>Eric</P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 12 Mar 2011 20:29:13 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/map-external-LUN-to-a-FAS2040/m-p/67081#M4635 eric_barlier 2011-03-12T20:29:13Z
