    Nothing.

    A LUN is a SAN concept, not a database concept.

    LUN = Logical Unit Number

    SAN = Storage Area Network

    Honestly the reason they are not explained here is because somebody has already done a better job than I can do off the top of my head.

    Because we assume that people know the basic terminology or, if they don't, will go and look it up.

    To add to that.... If for no other reason than using a single source of information on the internet has been known to cause people some might grief. It's also a part of the implied job description for anyone that earns their living by working with computers. 😉
