Logical unit number

Logical unit number

En almacenamiento, una logical unit number o LUN es una dirección para una unidad de disco duro y por extensión, el disco en sí mismo. El término es originario del protocolo SCSI como una forma de diferenciar unidades de disco individuales dentro de un bus SCSI tal que un array de discos.

El término es muy común en Storage Area Networks (SAN) y en otros campos del almacenamiento corporativo. Hoy, un LUNs no es normalmente un disco entero sino una partición virtual (o volumen) dentro de un conjunto RAID.
