LUN Expansion

LUSE volumes can be assigned to XP Continuous Access pairs, provided that the P-VOL and S-VOL
have the same LU type and the same number of LDEVs. If you need to perform LUSE operations
on an existing XP Continuous Access P-VOL or S-VOL, you must release the pair first to return the
volume to SMPL status.

For further information on LUN Expansion (LUSE), see the HP XP24000/XP20000 LUN Expansion
User Guide
.

If you allocate the LUSE volume that consists of LDEVs set across more than one CU to the XP
Continuous Access pair, you must select CU Free for an RCU. The LUSE volume that consists of
LDEVs set across more than one CU cannot create a pair with the volume of an XP1024/XP128
disk array because CU Free cannot be added as an RCU with XP1024/XP128 disk arrays.

Custom Volume Size

CVS volumes can be assigned to XP Continuous Access pairs, provided that the S-VOL has the
same capacity as the P-VOL. If you need to perform CVS operations on an existing XP Continuous
Access P-VOL or S-VOL, you must release the pair first to return the volume to SMPL status.
