The volume serial number.
When duplicates volsers exist, you get prompted at IPL time to indicate
which device should remain offline. There's nothing stopping an operator
from responding differently as different systems are IPLed. Even without
an IPL, you can vary one device offline and then vary another one online
with the same volser. Two different physical devices. Same volser.
