Storage Area Network: What is the difference between a LUN and a volume?
That makes sense. Can you tell me more about how LUNs and volumes are provisioned in a SAN environment?
Sure! Typically, LUNs are created and managed by the storage administrator, who allocates a specific amount of storage space from a set of available storage devices and assigns a unique LUN identifier to it. Volumes are then created within the allocated space and formatted with a specific file system before being made accessible to the host computers. Does that help answer your question?
