VPLEX LUN naming convention
Hello,
Just wondering how other people do their naming conventions for LUNs under vplex. I am deploying a metro configuration (with VMware) and it seems like there's lots of different ways of approaching how a LUN is named.
The plan right now is to use the following:
Server/Cluster_WinningSite_Type(Local or Distributed)_RP Protected_LUNID
I'll give two examples:
Physical Server Oracle1 with no RP protection
Oracle1_Site2_Distributed_500
VMware Server in Cluster "SQLCluster" with RP protection
SQLCluster_Site1_Distributed_RP_1001
Though, my problem that I am seeing now is that Unity has no way to set a LUN ID (you could do this on the VNX). I would appreciate any feedback someone could offer for this topic.
Thanks.
