CAUTION: If Veritas Volume Manager is being used when assigning 3PAR virtual
volumes to Remote Copy groups, all volumes in the same Veritas disk group
should be assigned to one Remote Copy group, whether they are actually being
used by the Oracle database or not. Otherwise, you might not be able to import
and mount file systems on the remote backup host. Therefore, it is strongly
suggested that Veritas disk groups only contain files used by one Oracle database.
