Terminology
Description
A logical unit is a component of a storage system. A logical unit
is uniquely numbered creating a Logical Unit Number (LUN).
The storage appliance can contain many LUNs. LUNs when
associated with one or more SCSI targets, form a unique SCSI
device. This SCSI device can be accessed by one or more SCSI
initiators.
An initiator is an application or production system end-point
that is capable of initiating a SCSI session, sending SCSI
commands, and I/O requests. Initiators are also identified by
unique addressing methods.
A set of initiators. When an initiator group is associated with a
LUN, only initiators from that group may access the LUN.
