• It is not a LUSE volume.
• It is not a paired volume created with Business Copy Software, Continuous Access Software, or
Continuous Access Journal Software.
• It is not an Auto LUN Software reserved volume.
• It is not a pool volume or a journal volume.
• It has a status of Normal or Normal(Quick Format).
• It is not a Thin Provisioning Software virtual volume.
• It is not a system drive.
• It has a guard mode of Read/Write.
• It has an emulation type of OPEN-V.
• It is not a command device.
• It does not have a Cache Residency Manager set.
• It does not have a path.
• If more than one logical unit is specified, all of them must have the same CLPR number.
• If more than one logical unit is specified, all of them must have the same cache mode.
The following conditions apply only to P9500 with a microcode version earlier than 70-02-00-XX/XX:
• If more than one logical unit is specified for a THP pool, internal volumes and external volumes
cannot be mixed together.
• If more than one logical unit is specified for a THP pool, all of them must have the same RAID
level.
• If more than one internal volume is specified for a THP pool, up to three types of logical units with
different drive types or rotational speeds can be used.
#
However, if the microcode version is earlier than 70-01-40-XX/XX, logical units that have different
drive types or rotational speeds cannot be used for a THP pool.
• To specify more than one logical unit for a pool for Smart Tiers, external volumes cannot be used.
The following conditions apply only to P9500 with a microcode version of 70-02-00-XX/XX or later:
• If external volumes are used for a pool for Smart Tiers, the cache mode for the volumes must be
ON.
• If both internal and external volumes are used for a THP pool, the cache mode for the external
volumes must be ON.
However, if a THP pool was created when the microcode version was earlier than 70-02-00-XX/XX,
the THP pool cannot contain both internal and external volumes, even if the microprogram is up-
graded to 70-02-00-XX/XX or later.
• If more than one logical unit is specified for a THP pool, up to three types of logical units with
different drive types or rotational speeds can be used.
#
However, logical units with the same drive type and rotational speed must also have the same
RAID level.
• If more than one logical unit is specified for a THP pool, RAID 1 cannot be mixed together with
other RAID levels.
#
The specifiable drive types are SSD, SAS, and SATA. Only SAS drives are distinguished by the
rotational speed.
Only one type of external volume is allowed, regardless of the drive type and rotational speed
of the actual volumes.
The following conditions apply only to XP24000/XP20000:
