Switched Fabric Switched fabric is the highest performing device available for interconnecting large number of devices increasing bandwidth reducing congestion and providing aggregate throughput Each device is connected to a port on the switch enabling an on demand connection to every connected device Each node on a Switched fabric uses an aggregate throughput data path to send or receive data 1 3 4 LUN Masking LUN masking is a RAID system centric enforced method of masking multiple LUNs behind a single port By using World Wide Port Names WWPNs of server HBAs LUN masking is configured at the volume level LUN masking also allows sharing disk storage resource across multiple independent servers A single large RAID device can be sub divided to serve a number of different hosts that are attached to the RAID through the SAN fabric with LUN masking So that only one or a limited number of servers can see that LUN each LUN inside the RAID device can be limited LUN masking can be done either at the RAID device behind the RAID port or at the server HBA It is more secure to mask LUNs at the RAID device but notall RAID devices have LUN masking capability Therefore in order to mask LUNs some HBA vendors allow persistent binding at the driver level 1 4 Array Definition 1 4 1 Raid Set A Raid Set is a group of disk drives containing one or more logical volumes called Volume Sets It is not possible to have multiple Raid Sets o
