EXAMINE THE DEVICE PAIRING AND IDENTITIES FOLLOWING A CREATE
The create operation automatically configures matching volumes on the target array. These volumes will be the same size and
configuration, though they will most likely not have the same VMAX volume numbers. Following the create operation the 4 new volumes
on the target array are 0013 through 0016. Volume 0158 and volume 0013 are paired for NDM operations. The RDF pairing information
can also be seen in the symdev show output.
