BCV (EMC Symmetrix specific term) Business Continuance Volumes, or BCV devices, are dedicated SLDs that are pre-configured in the ICDA on which the business continuation operation runs. BCV devices are assigned separate SCSI addresses, differing from the addresses used by the SLDs they mirror.

The BCV devices are used as splittable mirrors of the primary EMC Symmetrix SLDs that need to be protected.
