PowerVC Liveupdate support for Hitachi

Executing an AIX OS Liveupdate function through PowerVC using Hitachi storage is not working. See IBM support comments below.

"After completing our investigation we have determined the issue is caused because PowerVC does not report the volume_wwn for Hitachi storage, it reports the LDEV id instead.
PowerVC team has confirmed this is by design.
​
Case Number: TS002336514

All this means is right now Live Update is not designed to work with PowerVC+Hitachi storage as it expects the volume_wwn in the pre-checks we do.
To overcome this a design change will be needed, most probably in PowerVC as for all other storage types PowerVC will report the WWN as expected."
