P9500/XP7 disk arrays.

For an XP disk array, Back-end comprises of the backend
components, such as the DKA pairs, associated MPs, and the

Back-end

RAID groups. The RAID groups further comprises of the associated
physical LDEVs and the pool LDEVs (LDEVs assigned to a ThP or
a snapshot pool). For more information, see

path” (page 244)

.

Comprises of the individual snapshot pool IDs, the associated
RAID groups, and VVols (PVOLs and SVOLs). The RAID groups

Snapshot Pool

further display the list of associated physical LDEVs. The snapshot
pools are displayed for the P9500/XP7 disk arrays, such as the
P9500.

The snapshot pools are also displayed only for the XP24000,
XP20000, XP12000, and XP10000 Disk Arrays. For more
