Snapshot group requirements
Snapshot groups require the following:
• The platform type must be Open.
• The storage system must be HP P9500.
• Only Snapshot/Fast Snap snapshots can be registered in a snapshot group. (Copy-on-Write
snapshots cannot be registered.)
• An in-band connection to the storage system is required (virtual command devices are not suppor-
ted).
• The Storage Administrator role is required to perform snapshot group configuration operations.
• You must have a Snapshot/Fast Snap license.
• V-VOLs must have a LUN path defined.
• Snapshot groups and copy groups cannot be mixed.
• Assignment of snapshot groups can only be performed when new copy pairs are configured (you
cannot assign a snapshot group definition to existing copy pairs).
