Storage System Identification

Differences in storage system identification in Business Continuity Manager are described below.
Identification on the XP1024/XP128 Disk Array and XP12000/XP10000 Disk Array
When the storage system is an XP1024/XP128 or XP12000/XP10000 Disk Arrays, Business
Continuity Manager considers the storage systems themselves to be storage systems and treats the
numbers (physical DKC serial numbers) assigned to the individual storage systems as the storage
systems serial numbers.

Identification on an XP24000/XP20000 and the P9500 Disk Array
When the storage system is an XP24000/XP20000 or P9500 Disk Array, the volumes identified
by the CU numbers 00 to FE are treated as belonging to a logical disk controller. Business Continuity
Manager considers these logical DKCs to be storage systems and treats the logical DKC serial
number assigned to each logical DKC as the serial numbers of a storage system.
