What is the significance of using a specific LUN type when creating LUNs manually on a
NetApp storage system?

A.
The LUNs offset, size of the prefix and suffix is determined by the LUN type, which differs
for different operating systems.

B.
The LUN types are merely for administrative ease of use and the LUN types can be
changed on the fly after creation.

C.
The LUN types allow the appropriate host operating systems to use the LUN. For
example, a VMware type LUN cannot be read from /written to using a Solaris host.

D.
The host operating system will panic when the “wrong” LUN type is selected on the
NetApp storage system.
