Because there is no pair/copy status assiociated with Snapshot/Fast Snap management, alerts
and use of My Copy Groups do not apply. Instead, only FS pool usage monitoring applies.

Snapshot group requirements
Snapshot groups require the following:
•
The platform type must be Open.
•
The storage system must be HP P9500 or XP7.
•
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). If you manage copy pairs using
a snapshot group on HP P9500 and XP7, a pair management server for the snapshot group needs
to be configured in advance. This server must have user authentication enabled for the command
device. If you use a pair management server to which multiple command devices are connected,
each must have authentication enabled.
