control unit (CU)

Created in an storage system. Also called a CU image. The LDEVs created in a
storage system are connected to a single CU, and a number is assigned to each
CU for identifying its LDEVs. Therefore, volumes (LDEVs) in a storage system are
specified by the CU number (CU#) and LDEV number.

copy pair

A primary and secondary volume pair linked by the volume replication
functionality of a storage system. The primary volume contains original data,
and the secondary volume contains the copy of the original.
Copy operations can be synchronous or asynchronous, and the volumes of the
copy pair can be located in the same storage system (local copy) or in different
storage systems (remote copy).

block in the primary volume is to be updated. The original snapshot of the volume
is maintained by storing the changeable data blocks in the data pool.
