Volume	On the XP array, a volume is a uniquely identified virtual storage device
	composed of a control unit (CU) component and a logical device (LDEV)
	component separated by a colon. For example 00:00 and 01:00 are two
	uniquely identified volumes; one is identified as CU = 00 and LDEV = 00,
	and the other as CU = 01 and LDEV = 00; they are two unique separate virtual
	storage devices within the XP array.
VSC	Volume size customization. Synonymous with CVS.
WWN	World Wide Name. A unique identifier assigned to a Fibre Channel device.
