or already assigned to another emulation group (group by 32 LDEV numbers).
When a mainframe volume or multi-platform volume is created, corresponding LDEV numbers
cannot be specified if these values are not identical: - model/serial numbers of the virtual
storage machine and the storage system - LDEV ID and the virtual LDEV ID
NOTE: When you create TSE-VOL if you select the pool and display the View LDEV IDs
window, the displaying when the selected pool ID is an odd number is different from the
displaying when the selected pool ID is an even number. If the selected pool ID is an odd
number, all the LDEV IDs belonging to the CU whose ID is an even number are displayed as
disabled (the cell color is gray). If the selected pool ID is an even number, all the LDEV IDs
belonging to the CU whose ID is an odd number are displayed as disabled (the cell color is
gray).
