Creating a new distributor with cloned pairs
1. Create cascaded pairs and distribute data in the P-VOL. Assign the clone attribute to the volume to be
a new distributor (S-VOL 3 in the figure).
2. Clone pairs.
By cloning pairs, S-VOL 3 and S-VOL 1 become unpaired volumes (THP V-VOLs) in the same status,
and S-VOL 3 can be a new distributor. As a result, the overhead of the Fast Snap pairs can be reduced.
