Click Create. 
The ReadyDATA platform confirms the creation of a LUN with the message “Data Set 
successfully created.” The new LUN is added to the Shares & LUNs screen. Basic 
information is displayed to the right of the LUN.
Configure LUN Security
This section describes the basic steps to set up LUN security. The steps involve creating a 
LUN group, assigning a LUN to the LUN group, and configuring access rights to the LUN 
group.
For more information about LUN security, see “Assign LUNs to LUN Groups and Manage 
Access Rights” in Chapter 4, “Manage Shares and LUNs,” of the ReadyDATA OS Software 
Create a LUN Group and Assign a LUN to the LUN Group
When you create a LUN, the LUN is unassigned. You need to create a LUN group and assign 
one or more LUNs to the LUN group.
To create a LUN group and assign a LUN to it:
1.
Log in to the ReadyDATA platform using the default or your personalized login 
credentials.
The Dashboard home screen displays.
2.
Select SAN. 
Provision
Select how storage space is provisioned. Make a selection from the menu:
•
Thin. Even though you specify the size of the LUN when you create it, storage space 
is assigned on demand instead of up front. The size of the LUN is reported as the total 
storage space that you specify when you create the LUN.
•
Thick. All storage space that you specify when you create the LUN is also allocated 
up
 
front. The size of the LUN is reported as the total storage space that you specify 
when you create the LUN. This is the default method.
Note:
 
Make sure that you watch the volume capacity of the volume on which the 
overallocated LUN resides so you do not run out of storage space unexpectedly.
Note:
 
NETGEAR recommends that you do not use an overallocated thin LUN for storage 
of critical data. Instead, use a thick LUN.
Size 
Specify the size of the LUN. The maximum size that you can allocate to the LUN is stated at 
the bottom of the screen.
Unit
Select the unit of measurement from the menu:
•
MB. 
•
GB. This is the default unit of measurement.
•
TB.
