HAM environment
An environment in which volume pairs that are synchronized between two storage
systems are created by HAM (High Availability Manager), and hosts are configured to
recognize these volumes as one volume. An HAM environment consists of the primary
volume (P-VOL) in the primary site and the secondary volume (S-VOL) in the secondary
site. When an error occurs on one of the volumes, the path can be switched to the other
volume by using HDLM.

In this manual, the term HBA refers to an interface card installed in a host, in
