HP XP7 Auto LUN User Guide (TK915-96001)

must ensure that the capacity of a Thin Provisioning or Thin Provisioning Z virtual volume is not
increasing if you plan on using that virtual volume in an Auto LUN plan.
In this manual, Thin Provisioning indicates both Thin Provisioning and Smart Tiers. Thin Provisioning
Z indicates Thin Provisioning Z and Smart Tiers Z.

When the selected source volume is a primary volume or a secondary volume of a Continuous
Access Synchronous Z or Continuous Access Journal Z pair consisting of internal volumes and/or
Thin Provisioning Z virtual volumes, there are some target volume candidates that should not be
considered. The following table lists the possible Internal/THP V-VOL - Continuous Access
Synchronous Z/Continuous Access Journal Z pair combinations, and tells which type of volume
should not be considered as a target volume based on the Continuous Access Synchronous
Z/Continuous Access Journal Z pair combination and the selected source volume.

CAUTION:
• If you do the Continuous Access Synchronous Z operation so that the Continuous Access
Synchronous Z pair status becomes other than Suspended when Auto LUN and Continuous
Access Synchronous Z share a volume, the Auto LUN process stops.
• If you do the Continuous Access Journal Z operation so that the Continuous Access Journal Z
pair status becomes other than Suspended when Auto LUN and Continuous Access Journal Z
share a volume, the Auto LUN process stops.
