ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of a LUN security utility which provides LUN security operations including, but not limited to, searching for and locating one or more LUNs, LUN selection, LUN to disk array port binding, LUN masking and fabric zoning operations in one utility. Embodiments may provide a central user interface that guides a user through configuring LUN security operations and allows the user to execute the configured LUN security operations with a single operation. Embodiments may provide a central point from which to perform LUN security operations including one or more of, but not limited to, LUN binding, LUN masking and fabric zoning. Using embodiments, LUN security operations may be performed as a single operation from the perspective of the user.
