After the installation of HDLM, an LU recognized by a host is called a host LU

(HLU). The areas in a host LU that correspond to the Devs in a storage

system LU are called host devices (HDev).

On a system using HDLM, in order to access a target LU, a drive letter is first

assigned to the disk that has been integrated by the MPIO driver. Such disks

are displayed in the Windows' Disk Management window.

The following figure shows the LU configuration recognized by the host, after

the installation of HDLM.
