About Universal Volume Manager Operations 2-25
Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Universal Volume Manager User’s Guide
Interoperability with other Products and Functions
You can use the USP V/VM program products to utilize and to manage the
external volumes you have set using Universal Volume Manager. For the
operations and notes on each program product, see the respective user's
guides.
LUN Manager and Configuration File Loader
If you set the emulation type for the open system as you map the external
volume, you need to set the LU path for the mapped volume using LUN
Manager.
Consider the following for the Configuration File Loader function:
• You can to set the LU path definition for the external volume (add, delete,
or change LU paths).
• You can to set the command device for the external volume (add or delete
the setting).
• The setting of the channel adapter (CHA) mode, host group, and WWN for
the external port is not supported. When an external volume is mapped
through that external port, the setting operation of the topology is not
available, either.
LUN Expansion
Consider the following for LUN Expansion (LUSE):
• The internal volume in the local storage system and the external volume
cannot be combined to form a LUSE volume.
• Do not combine LDEVs of multiple external volumes to create a LUSE
volume. Only the LDEVs in the same external volume can be used to
configure the LUSE volumes.
• All external volumes in a LUSE volume must be in the same Cache Mode.
Virtual LVI/LUN
Consider the following for Virtual LVI/LUN (VLL):
• If you set the emulation type for the mainframe system as you map the
external volume, you need to format the mapped volume or perform the
Write to Control Blocks operation using the VLL function before you use
the external volume.
For the formatting operation procedure and the Write to Control Blocks
operation procedure, see the Virtual LVI/LUN and Volume Shredder User’s
Guide.
