Fast Snap

#1:

For mainframe volume copy pairs, you can only check the configuration by using the Device

Manager CLI. There are no storage system requirements for checking the copy pair configuration

by using the Device Manager CLI.

#2:

The settings specified in Continuous Access can be shared with Continuous Access Journal.

However, in Continuous Access Journal, the settings must be specified for both storage systems

used for the P-VOL and the S-VOL.

CAUTION:

• After the storage system has been configured as required, the storage system must be refreshed.

Make sure that the latest information is displayed before performing operations on copy pairs.

• The storage system serial numbers managed by Device Manager must all be unique. In the case

of Continuous Access or Continuous Access Journal, remote storage systems that are not managed

by Device Manager must also have unique serial numbers.

• If you use HP XP7 or P9500 logical units to create a copy pair, do not use logical units associated

with a device group.
