Radoslaw,
I'm familiar with UNIT=AFF for times when I WANT the same device
allocated to multiple DD's in one step. But I'm not coding UNIT=AFF and it's
acting like I am. The strange part is when I changed the UNIT specification to
use the generic name, it allocated separate devices.
We just got a DataDomain storage solution with Luminex gateways. I'm just
starting to learn about them, hence the confusion and questions.
Thanks,
Dave K.
