Setting up pool volumes
Snapshot uses an area called a pool to store the differential data for the primary volume in order to
create a snapshot image (virtual volume). You can specify pools when all of the following conditions

About pool volumes
A pool is an area used to create a snapshot image (virtual volume) for storing differential data from
a primary volume. You must set up a pool before you can use any of the following volume replication
functions:
• Snapshot
Thin Provisioning Software uses THP pools to allocate “virtual” storage capacity based on their
anticipated future capacity needs, using “virtual volumes” as opposed to a physical drive.
NOTE:
As of Replication Manager 7.1.1, mainframe THP volumes are supported for the HP P9500 platform.
Replication Manager allows you to specify pools when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
• The storage system type is XP12000/XP10000/SVS200, XP24000/XP20000, or HP P9500
(mainframe).
