Storage system configuration with
Thin Image and
GAD
Not all storage system configurations are supported when sharing a Thin Image volume with a GAD volume.
When you create a Thin Image pair using a volume from a GAD pair, the server recognizes the GAD P-VOL and S-VOL as a single volume. If you create Thin Image pairs using both the P-VOL and S-VOL of a GAD pair, the server recognizes the GAD P-VOL and S-VOL as a single volume being paired with multiple volumes by Thin Image.
Supported configurations
The following figure shows a supported storage system configuration with a Thin Image pair using a GAD P-VOL.
The following figure shows a supported storage system configuration with a Thin Image pair using a GAD S-VOL.
The following figure shows a supported storage system configuration with Thin Image pairs using a GAD P-VOL and S-VOL.
