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.
