Preparing LUNs to receive data

Read this section if you created LUNs on the storage system.

If you do not want to use a LUN as a raw disk or raw volume, then before Windows can send data to a LUN, you must:

❑ Use Navisphere Manager or to verify that each new LUN is initialized and to write a signature to it.

❑ Either create partitions on a basic disk or create the appropriate volumes on a dynamic disk, as described in the documentation for your operating system version.
