LU Configuration

On a system using HDLM, the logical device file for the HDLM management-

target device is used to access the target LU.

An LU recognized by a host after HDLM installation, is called a host LU (HLU).

The areas in a host LU that correspond to the Dev in a storage system LU are

called host devices (HDev).

An LU in the storage system corresponds one-to-one with a host LU, a host

device, or an hdisk.

The following figure shows the LU configuration recognized by the host, after

the installation of HDLM.
