Creating LUNs

You can use the Create LUN wizard to create LUNs for an existing aggregate, volume, or qtree when there is available free space. You can create a LUN in an existing volume or create a new flexible volume for the LUN.

About this task

If you specify the LUN ID, System Manager checks the validity of the LUN ID before adding it. If you do not specify a LUN ID, Data ONTAP automatically assigns one.

You can create a LUN of size up to 16 TB.
