* **LUN per VDI**; LUNs are directly mapped to VMs as VDIs by SR types that provide an array-specific plugin (Netapp, Equallogic or StorageLink type SRs). The array storage abstraction therefore matches the VDI storage abstraction for environments that manage storage provisioning at an array level. | * **LUN per VDI**; LUNs are directly mapped to VMs as VDIs by SR types that provide an array-specific plugin (Netapp, Equallogic or StorageLink type SRs).
