Binding a LUN

A number of settings allow you to define the LUN configuration. Before binding a LUN,
make sure you understand what each of the settings does and how it will impact LUN
behavior. See "Configuring LUNs" on page 242
The LUN binding process is designed to maintain high-availability by recommending that
you avoid creating a LUN that includes more than one disk per enclosure. If you attempt to
do so, you will be alerted that the resulting LUN will be vulnerable to an enclosure failure.
How long does it take to bind a LUN?
Note
The time it takes to bind a LUN depends on the size of the LUN you are creating.

18-Gbyte disks can take up to 60 minutes.
