I just created a 4 component strippedmetaLUN using LUNs 300, 301, 302 and 303. I expanded using LUN 303. This is the results of the naviseccli metalun -list command (minus extra stuff). It takes the meta base LUN (303) and renumbers the LUN Number to 24530 - the Number is the important part - LUN Name can be anything. It then takes the next component LUN, re-numbers the Number to 24531 (component 302) and so on (301, then 300). So the lowest "MetaLUN Number" is the metaLUN base LUN.
MetaLUN Number: 303
MetaLUN Name: LUN 303
Element Size Multiplier: 4
Components:
Number of LUNs: 4
LUNs:
LUN Number: 24530
LUN Name: LUN 303 <---- this is the meta base LUN - note that the LUN number above is 24530 - this is the lowest number of the four component LUNs.
OK, so it is saying the the MetaLun Number should match one of the component LUN IDs and that will be the base... here is an example from naviseccli getall.... MetaLune Number is 166, but all the component LUNs are in the 6xx. Am I looking at the wrong ID?
The 6xx numbers you see are actually the text LUN names assigned to the LUNs before they were added to the Meta. You want to look at the LUN Numbers which are in the 5xxx range. If I recall correctly, the lowest number is the base LUN.
I'm betting that at one time, the original LUN Number 166 was actually renamed to LUN Name "LUN 606" before it was used in the metaLUN. You can't change the LUN Number, but you can change the LUN Number.
