The Logical Storage Manager (LSM) software provides high data availability,
better performance, and greater storage management flexibility through
online support for disk storage devices on Alpha systems.
The Logical Storage Manager manual explains LSM concepts and how to

objects such as disks, disk groups, volumes, plexes, and subdisks
This manual is intended for system administrators who need to configure
and maintain disk storage under the control of the LSM software. The

understanding of system administration, and a basic understanding of
disk structures.
