Creating V-VOLs for Fast Snap S-VOLs
Prerequisites
You must have the Storage Administrator (Provisioning) role.
Change the pair status of V-VOLs you want the host server to recognize to PSUS or unpaired.
In RAID Manager, use the
raidcom add ldev -pool snap
command.
Depending on the types of pairs with which you are working, there are two options for creating a V-VOL
for a Fast Snap S-VOL. For pairs with the snapshot attribute (snapshot pairs) for which the cascade
attribute is enabled (cascaded pairs) or for clone pairs, create a THP V-VOL. You can use a non-
cascaded snapshot tree (using only root volumes and leaf volumes) even when you create snapshot pairs
that are cascaded. For information about creating a THP V-VOL, see the
Provisioning Guide for your
storage system. For snapshot pairs for which the cascade attribute is disabled, create a Fast Snap V-
VOL.
Procedure
1. In the Explorer pane, click Storage Systems , expand the storage system tree, and then click Pools .
