For the external volume, for which the Cache Mode is set to Disable, the bind mode for the
Cache Residency Manager operation is not available.

Creating LUSE Volume Guidelines
Do not combine LDEVs of multiple external storage systems to create a LUSE volume. The
LDEVs in the same external storage system can only be used to set the LUSE volumes.
When you combine LDEVs of multiple external storage systems to create a LUSE volume, the
following problems will occur:
◦
If a LUSE volume consists of multiple external storage systems and one external storage
system volume has lower performance than the other storage system volumes, the lower
performance of the volume affects the performance of the LUSE volume.
◦
When an external storage system volume that is part of a LUSE volume is blocked, data
reliability of the LUSE volume will deteriorate because the LUSE volume has both accessible
area and inaccessible area from a host.
◦
When you disconnect an external volume or resume the use of an external volume, you
need to perform the operation at the same time on all the external volumes that are
components of the LUSE volume.
The mapped volumes that have different cache mode settings cannot be used to create one
LUSE volume.
