To configure Fibre Channel storage

For Fibre Channel storage, Unitrends requires a connection to an active LUN at all times. Unitrends supports array failover scenarios for active/active configurations only.

Use this procedure to configure Fibre Channel storage:

1        Complete the steps in To add archive storage or To configure a SAN-direct backup for a Recovery-Series system.

2        Click Scan for List of Available Targets to retrieve the target LUNs exposed by the SAN.

3        Choose the desired target from the Select Target list.

4        Enter the Logical Unit Number using the LUN counter, or click Scan for List of Available LUNs and select one in the Select LUN list.

Note: If you do not see the LUN in the list, check the following:

     Go to your SAN manager, check your LUN configuration, and verify that you can see the Unitrends appliance.

     Verify that you have a LUN assigned to the Unitrends system with the correct permissions.

     You may need to reboot the Unitrends system to enable it to discover the storage device.

     Check with your Storage Administrator for more information.

5        Click Confirm to complete the setup.

Note about deleting the LUN: To remove the LUN from Fibre Channel storage in the Unitrends system, you must go to the SAN manager and indicate that the SAN should not use the LUN anymore.
