ATM
Asynchronous transfer mode.
BC
P9000 or XP Business Copy. An HP application that provides volume-level, point-in-time copies
in the disk array.
BC z
This is the version of BC that supports mainframe volumes. See BC for more information.
bit

CU
Control Unit. Used to organize the storage space attached to the disk controller ( DKC). You can
group similarly configured logical devices (LDEVs) with unique control unit images (CUs). CUs
are numbered sequentially. The disk array supports a certain number of CUs, depending on the
disk array model. Each CU can manage multiple LDEVs; therefore, both the CU number and the
LDEV number are required to identify an LDEV.
DFSMS
Data Facility Storage Management Subsystem.
DKC
Disk controller.
M-VOL
Main volume.
P-VOL
Primary volume.
path
A path is created by associating a port, a target, and a LUN ID with one or more LDEVs. Also
known as a LUN.
R-VOL
Remote volume.

array.
S-VOL
Secondary or remote volume. The copy volume that receives the data from the primary volume.
