Resolution
LUN IDs mapped to hosts or host groups must be unique across the SAN, not just unique to the host or host group.
Within IBM Storage Manager:
- Select the Mappings View tab
- Click on the storage system at the root level of the left pane
- The Defined Mappings can now be sorted by clicking on the LUN column to see duplicates
