Note, however, that this combination consumes the same amount of pool capacity as the original normal volume (primary volume).

Note:

  1. Normal volumes include the internal volumes and external volumes that are mapped to the volumes of the external storage system using Universal Volume Manager. For more information about external volumes, see the Universal Volume Manager User Guide.

You cannot specify a Dynamic Provisioning, Dynamic Tiering, or active flash pool-VOL as a primary volume or secondary volume.
