Cache LUN XP for the XP10000/XP12000

automatically changes the ending block address to 128. For other than OPEN-V, if you have

entered 1 as the starting logical block address and a value less than 96 as the ending logical block

address, Cache LUN XP automatically changes the ending block address to 96.
