systems are created by HAM (High Availability Manager), and hosts are configured to

recognize these volumes as one volume. An HAM environment consists of the primary

volume (P-VOL) in the primary site and the secondary volume (S-VOL) in the secondary

site. When an error occurs on one of the volumes, the path can be switched to the other

volume by using HDLM.

In this manual, the term HBA refers to an interface card installed in a host, in

configurations where the host and storage units are connected via a SCSI or a FC

connection.

HDLM manager

A program that manages error information. The HDLM manager receives error

information from the HDLM alert driver and then collects error logs.
