RAID Manager command devices

RAID Manager manages HP StorageWorks XP Business Copy Software or HP StorageWorks XP
Continuous Access Software operations from a host server. To use RAID Manager, you must designate
at least one LDEV as a command device. For information about how to designate a command device,
see the applicable user guide
When creating a command device, HP recommends creating a LUN 0 device of 35 megabytes (the
smallest allowed). This allows you to use host-based RAID management tools available from HP, and
will allow HP support to perform some additional diagnostics.
NOTE:
Storage assigned to the LUN 0 device is not accessible to OpenVMS.
