THP V-VOLs and the associated pool volumes should be assigned to the same CLPR.
• For a Thin Provisioning Z, different CLPRs can be assigned to THP V-VOLs in the same pool.
In this case, the CLPR assigned to the pool volumes is ignored.
• For a Snapshot pool, the same CLPR must be assigned for all the pool-VOLs in a pool.
