volume On the P9000 or XP array, a volume is a uniquely identified virtual storage device composed of
a control unit (CU) component and a logical device (LDEV) component separated by a colon. For
example 00:00 and 01:00 are two uniquely identified volumes; one is identified as CU = 00
and LDEV = 00, and the other as CU = 01 and LDEV = 00; they are two unique separate virtual
storage devices within the array.
VSC Volume size customization. Also known as CVS.
WWN World Wide Name. A unique identifier assigned to a Fibre Channel device.
