• Because there is no pair/copy status assiociated with Snapshot/Fast Snap management, alerts

and use of My Copy Groups do not apply. Instead, only FS pool usage monitoring applies.

• The storage system must be HP P9500.

• Only Snapshot/Fast Snap snapshots can be registered in a snapshot group. (Copy-on-Write

snapshots cannot be registered.)

• An in-band connection to the storage system is required (virtual command devices are not suppor-

ted).

• The Storage Administrator role is required to perform snapshot group configuration operations.

• You must have a Snapshot/Fast Snap license.

• V-VOLs must have a LUN path defined.

• Snapshot groups and copy groups cannot be mixed.

• Assignment of snapshot groups can only be performed when new copy pairs are configured (you

cannot assign a snapshot group definition to existing copy pairs).
