Table 27
lists the base LDEV capacity, minimum LDEV capacity, maximum external LU capacity, and
number of LDEVs that can be defined for the external LU with maximum capacity. For the OPEN-L
emulation type, the base LDEV capacity and the minimum LDEV capacity are the same because CVs
cannot be created. For the OPEN-V emulation type, the base LDEV capacity is not listed because there
is no concept of the base LDEV capacity.
