Creating LUN classifications

Last published : Aug 21, 2026
Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager lets you classify LUNs based on one or more parameters, such as the following:
  • Array (enclosure) name
  • Whether or not the LUN is thin
  • LUN name
  • Product, for example CLARiiON
  • RAID group
  • RAID level of a LUN, for example, RAID5/6
  • Whether or not the LUN is replicated
  • Vendor
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the Storage perspective.
To create LUN classifications
  1. In the Management Server console, go to the Storage perspective and expandManage in the left pane.
  2. Right-click Data Center.
  3. Click LUN Classification > Create.
  4. In the Create new classification for LUNS/LDEVS panel, specify the classification as follows:
    • Define the LUN selection criteria.
Specify an attribute, a condition, and a value for each parameter. Text values are not case sensitive.
To add a parameter, click the Add icon and choose whether to use anAND orOR operator for the new parameter.
  • Specify a name for this LUN classification.
  • Optionally, select the check box Classify enclosure LUNs after rule creation to have Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager apply the classification after you create it.
For the most efficiency, Veritas recommends that you create all the LUN classifications first instead of having Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager apply each classification after you create it. You can then use LUN Classification > Refresh Classification option to apply all the classifications manually.
  1. Click Finish.
You can create additional LUN classifications by repeating these steps.
  1. Once LUN classifications are applied, you can view the data in the LUN Classification chart on the Data Center Overview tab. You may need to refresh the page for the data to display in the chart.
