Hewlett Packard Enterprise HPE XP7, User Manual, Page: 20 / 311

For Business Copy, each S-VOL independently retains data. Therefore, only data in the failed S-VOL is
affected. In addition, if a failure occurs in an S-VOL during restoration, data in the P-VOL which is being
restored cannot be used.
XP7 Storage software applications for Fast Snap
Fast Snap
Use the Fast Snap software on the Remote Web Console (RWC) computer that is connected to the
service processor (SVP) by means of the TCP/IP local area network (LAN).
Thin Provisioning
Use the THP software on the RWC computer. A user license is required to use THP.
Since Fast Snap uses a portion of the THP licensed capacity for its pool capacity, reserve enough THP
licensed capacity to run both THP and Fast Snap and to accommodate the Fast Snap pairs or pools that
you will create.
Fast Snap and THP pool-VOLs are also referred to as used volumes. The licensed capacity must exceed
the total capacity of used volumes.
RAID Manager
When you use RAID Manager to define multiple Fast Snap pairs in a consistency group, you can only
specify one consistency group for a group defined by the configuration definition file for RAID Manager.
NOTE: The configuration definition file for RAID Manager is a group that is not a consistency group.
If you create a new pair and define the pairs in a consistency group for a group you defined using the
configuration definition file for RAID Manager, and the pair is already defined in a consistency group, the
pair is defined in the same consistency group even if you try to create a new pair and assign it to a
different consistency group.
