Storage Area Network: What is the difference between a LUN and a volume?
Can you explain to me the difference between a LUN and a volume in a Storage Area Network?
Sure, I'd be happy to explain that to you. A LUN, which stands for Logical Unit Number, is a unique identifier for a specific disk volume or partition that has been made accessible to a host computer through a storage area network. A volume, on the other hand, is the actual physical storage area on a disk that has been formatted with a file system, such as NTFS or FAT32.
