The default name is

Note – If the default name exceeds 20 characters it will be truncated.
6. (Optional) Change the LUN setting.

default. You can map the volume to hosts later; see “Managing Volume
Mappings” on page 99.
■ 0–maximum (FC and iSCSI) or 1–maximum (SAS only) – Specifies the LUN that
all connected hosts can use to access the volume. LUNs already in use are not
displayed.
