Access to Storage Resources ----netapp(7)

If all your SAN devices are functioning properly, you have to spent much of your SAN management time in allocating storage resources and giving access to them .   just  as mentioned like that , pls check steps:    

1. Create virtual disk and tape divices through a process called virtualization .

2. Create zones or use LUN masking to create data paths between the virtual storage resources and the servers that need them. 

3. Use persistent binding to create a permanent relationship between each virtual resource adn a SCSI ID on a server.

4. Use multipathing software to take advantage of the multiple physical paths between each storage resource and each server.

I think this is very important for us to understand how to establish and use storage resources better .   so pls remember what  above said , I believe it is very useful at least for your future final exam or future work !
