HP StorageWorks LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide for the XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 (T1714-96008, June 2006)
140 Overview of Volume Manager and Custom Volume Size
• The CV must not be path-defined (including TrueCopy for z/OS, Continuous Access XP, ShadowImage
for z/OS, Business Copy XP, and Continuous Access XP Journal pair volumes).
• The CV must not be reserved for Auto LUN XP.
• LUSE volumes concatenated with one or more LDEVs belonging to a different VDEV must not exist.
• The CV must be read/write-enabled.
• The CV must not be a pool volume (pool-VOL)
• The CV must not be a journal volume.
• The CV must not be a remote command device.
• The CV must not contain extents.
If the VDEV contains a CV that violates any of the restrictions, the Volume Initialize and Make Volume
functions are disabled. You must eliminate invalid CVs before performing the Volume Initialize and Make
Volume functions.
SSID requirements
The array is configured with one SSID for each of 256 devices and up to four SSIDs per CU image. Each
SSID must be unique within each host system. Table 31 shows the relationship between emulation types of
controllers and SSIDs.
Requirements for CU groups
If you are using HP StorageWorks LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP, you can apply Volume
Manager functions to open-systems volumes belonging to CU group 0 (zero), but not to volumes in other
CU groups. If you are using Custom Volume Size (CVS), you can apply Volume Manager functions to
mainframe volumes, regardless of which CU group the volumes belong to. For more information about CU
groups, see the HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console user guide for Xp12000/XP10000/SVS200.
