Finding an LDEV ID
When creating volumes, the LDEV ID (LDKC: CU: LDEV) must be specified. Use this procedure to
determine the LDEV IDs in use in the storage system so you can specify the correct LDEV.
1.
In Initial LDEV ID in the Create LDEVs window, click View LDEV IDs.
2. In the View LDEV IDs window, review the list to confirm the LDEV IDs. The LDEV IDs table shows
the available, used, and disabled LDEV IDs.
The matrix vertical scale represents the second-to-last digit of the LDEV number, and the
horizontal scale represents the last digit of the LDEV number.
In the table, used LDEV numbers appear in blue, unavailable LDEV numbers appear in gray,
and unused LDEV IDs appear in white. LDEV numbers that are unavailable may be already
in use, or already assigned to another emulation group (group by 32 LDEV numbers).
