Pair tasks using the RAID Manager or Storage Navigator

You can use the RAID Manager to perform pair tasks. When you use the RAID Manager, perform tasks by running an existing command for pair tasks or a RAID Manager command.

Using RAID Manager commands, you can store a minimum of 65 snapshot data or use a minimum of 64 MU numbers. For the pairs which have 0 to 63 MU numbers, you can only use the existing commands for pair tasks.

The following table shows the pair tasks you can perform, the RAID Manager commands you can use to perform the task, and the SN wizard and windows from which to start the task.
