The Symmetrix 8430 used for storage exposes Luns across multiple
Fibre ports. Each Lun is 9G in size. 4 of the fibre ports are connected to
the Fibre switch and zoned along with the 4 ports on the 2 nodes.
Each filesystem is built on a stripe that spans across the filesystem luns.
The Symmetrix was configured with 16GB memory
