• Prestaging mode is set to No for each cache
LDEV tree
The LDEV tree displays the CU number (for example, CU 00) and LDEV number (for example, LDEV 00)
available for Cache LUN XP operations in a tree. The tree uses the following icons to show the settings:

• LBA (open systems only): Displays the logical block starting and ending addresses.
• CC HH (mainframe systems only): Displays the cylinder and head starting and ending addresses.
• Capacity: Displays the capacity of the cache extent in megabytes for open systems. Displays the
capacity of the cache extent in cylinders and tracks for mainframe systems.
• Mode: Displays the mode of the cache extent. PRIO indicates priority mode, BIND indicates bind mode,
and - indicates that the LDEV is not assigned to the cache.
• Prestage: If this is blank, then pre-staging is not set. ON indicates that pre-staging is set.
