Storing snapshot data or cloning pairs

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

• 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 splitting Thin Image pairs (VSP Gx00 models and VSP Fx00 models) or storing snapshot data or clone pairs (VSP G1000, G1500, and VSP F1500) 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.
