Copy threshold option and host server I/O performance for
Fast Snap

I/O performance of the host server might be lowered as the workload on the storage system increases. If
you perform Fast Snap restore operations when the workload on the storage system is high, I/O
performance of the host server is more likely to be lowered because replication processes for the primary
volumes are triggered. The copy threshold option can be used to temporarily stop the replication
processes triggered by the restore operations when the workload on the storage system is high. The copy
threshold option can contribute to minimizing the decline in I/O performance of the host server.

The copy threshold option is applicable only when the workload on the storage system is excessively
heavy. If the copy threshold option is applied, all the replication processes triggered by restore operations
are stopped.

Replication processes stopped by the copy threshold option will be restarted as the workload on the
storage system is lowered. Enabling the copy threshold option stops replication processes for Fast Snap
and the following products when the storage system is overloaded.

• Business Copy

• Business Copy MF

• Compatible FlashCopy

• Auto LUN V2

For more information about enabling the copy threshold option, call HPE technical support.

For more information about Compatible FlashCopy, see the 

HPE XP7 for Compatible FlashCopy

Sharing Fast Snap volumes with other software
applications

You can create Fast Snap (FS) pairs using pair volumes for other replication software applications, such
as Business Copy and Continuous Access Synchronous. You can also create Fast Snap pairs using
volumes to which you define attributes using Data Retention or RAID Manager.

You can share Fast Snap volumes with the following software application volumes:
