Storing snapshot data

From a P-VOL, a maximum of 1,024 snapshots can be stored. Use one of these two methods to store Thin Image snapshot data.

• Split the Thin Image pair.

  For more information about storing snapshot data by splitting pairs, see Splitting Thin Image pairs to store snapshot data.

• Split the Thin Image pair within the consistency group using consistency group pair-split. Complete one of the following:
  • If you are not sharing Thin Image P-VOLs with Universal Replicator or TrueCopy S-VOLs within a storage system, see Workflow for storing snapshot data or clone pairs in consistency groups.
  • If you are sharing Thin Image P-VOLs with Universal Replicator or TrueCopy S-VOLs within a storage system, see Using consistency group pair-split with shared volumes.
