LUN or storage space allocation

[Rawat_Sunil]

How we can assign the storage space/LUN in there different scenario-

1 LUN assign to FC Servers

2  LUN Assign through NIC

3  Space allocated to windows server

4  Space allocated to Unix Servers

Allocation of storage to client servers can be found in the user guides.

In the first two situations, you would create a LUN and assign it to an igroup. The igroup would either contain WWPNs (FC) or IQN info (iSCSI).

For Windows, you can either assign a LUN to the Windows server, or create a volume and put a CIFS share on it.

For Unix, you can create a volume and export it to the unix server IP

1、LUN assign to FC Servers

In SAN (Storage Area Network) environments, LUNs are mapped to physical servers or virtualization hosts via Fibre Channel switches.
Create luns.---> Create igroup and bind the WWN--->Map igroup to luns--->Scan for and mount disks on the server operating system

2、LUN Assign through NIC

considering the topic of the article, so the question may not be just "lun", should be a "storage space"
So this might be an iSCSI protocol or NAS implementation
· iSCSI: The implementation method is similar to that in problem 1.

Create a lun--->create an igroup, bind the Initiator,--->map the igroup to the lun,--->use the iSCSI Initiator to connect the target IP address and port on the service operating system, and remotely mount the logical volume
· NAS: The network storage space is mapped to a local directory through NFS/SMB. For Windows, map network drives. For Unix/Linux, run the mount command ‌

3, 4、SAN and NAS can all be implemented
a. SAN storage management
b. NAS storage management

I am exactly on this situation, i created LUN to connect to windows server but what i found, with LUN volulme, there is no antiransomware, no possible to restore file from Netapp, no tiering policy....

so not sure connect LUN to windowws server is the best way

Regarding netapp's anti-ransomware, ARP has been available since 9.10.1 in NAS environments, and if you want to use this feature in Windows server, you can use cifs or nfs to provide storage space for the server.
