• Stop using the DP-VOLs.
• Use the Block LDEVs window to block the DP-VOLs.
• If the Data Direct Mapping attribute is enabled for the external volume, block only the related DP-VOL.
• When a virtual volume for which Compression or Deduplication and Compression is enabled is created from a HDP pool, if a failure occurs in the pool-VOL registered in the pool, recover the failure of the pool-VOL. In addition, if a deduplication system data volume is created, block it.

The external volume includes LDEVs for which Volume Migration processing is in progress.
