7-mode/HA pair/V-Series : LUNs : Understanding LUNs : LUN types
LUN types
The LUN Multiprotocol Type, or operating system type, specifies the OS of the host accessing the LUN. It also determines the layout of data on the LUN, the geometry used to access that data, and the minimum and maximum size of the LUN. When you create a LUN, you must specify the LUN type. Once the LUN is created, you cannot modify the LUN host operating system type.
The following table describes the supported LUN types based on the Data ONTAP version that you are running.
