Logical unit properties
- Name
- The VPD identifier for the logical unit.
- Active AAO Controller
- The active (or ALUA optimized) controller for the logical unit.
- Active AAO Visibility
- Lists all directors that have a path to the active (or ALUA optimized) controller for this logical unit.
- Passive AAN Controller
- The passive (or ALUA non-optimized) controller for the logical unit.
- Passive AAN Visibility
- Lists all directors that have a path to the passive (or ALUA non-optimized) controller for this logical unit.
- LUNs
- The LUN number on the array.
- Storage Volume
- The storage volume to which this logical unit belongs.
- ALUA Support
- Indicates if Asymmetrical Logical Unit Access (ALUA) is supported on the array. Depending on the type of controller exposed to the LUN, one of these values will display. Possible values:
Implicit — The logical unit can change its ALUA access state internally within the array without any external input requesting a change.
Explicit — The logical unit can change its ALUA access state in response to a request from an initiator (metro node back end software).
Implicit explicit — The logical unit has both implicit and explicit capabilities.
None — ALUA is not supported on the array.
- Connectivity Status
- The connectivity status of the logical unit.
- Visibility
- Indicates how the logical unit is visible to the controllers. Possible values:
Active optimized — All commands and task management functions can be sent on this path; this path has the highest performance (ALUA arrays only).
Active non-optimized — All commands and task management functions can be sent on this path, but the path has a lower performance than an active optimized path (ALUA arrays only).
Active — The controller actively processing I/O requests.
Both — Both controllers process I/O and provide standby capability for each other. One controller is actively processing I/O while the other is idle in standby mode waiting to process I/O should the active primary controller fail or be taken offline.
None — ALUA is not supported on the array.
