Requirements for a logical device to be selectable as a secondary volume
StorageWorks 
XP12000/XP10000* 
Common conditions 
for copy pairs 
•
The logical device must be applicable to StorageWorks XP Disk 
Array. 
•
The emulation type must be the same as that of the selected 
primary volume. 
•
For a LUSE volume, the primary volume and secondary volume 
must have the same number of logical devices that make up the 
LUSE. 
•
For an internal volume mapped to an external volume, the host I/O 
suppression mode must be disabled. 
Conditions
for
Continuous Access 
XP Synchronous and 
Continuous Access 
XP Extension 
•
The primary volume must belong to the MCU, and the secondary 
volume must belong to the RCU registered in that MCU. 
•
The logical device must not be a primary volume or secondary 
volume for Continuous Access XP Journal. For Continuous Access 
XP Synchronous, a Continuous Access XP Journal primary volume 
can be used as a secondary volume for Continuous Access XP 
Synchronous. 
The logical volume must not be a primary volume, V-volume, or data 
pool for Snapshot XP. 
Condition
for
Business Copy XP
The logical volume must not be a primary volume, V-volume, or data 
pool for Snapshot XP. 
StorageWorks 
XP1024/XP128 and 
StorageWorks 
XP512/XP48 
Common conditions 
for copy pairs 
•
The logical device must be applicable to StorageWorks XP Disk 
Array. 
•
The emulation type must be the same as that of the selected 
primary volume. 
•
For a LUSE volume, the primary volume and secondary volume 
must have the same number of logical devices that make up the 
LUSE. 
Condition
for
Continuous Access 
XP Synchronous and 
Continuous Access 
XP Extension 
The primary volume must belong to the MCU, and the secondary 
volume must belong to the RCU registered in that MCU. 
* If you cascade with pairs other than Snapshot XP pairs, first create the copy pair in the upper level. For example, suppose 
you use LDEV1, LDEV2, and LDEV3 to create the pairs of the P-VOL LDEV1 and the S-VOL LDEV2, and also the P-VOL 
LDEV2 and the S-VOL LDEV3, and then cascade them. In this case, first create the pair of the P-VOL LDEV1 and the S-
VOL LDEV2. 
4-3-3 Requirements for RAID Levels
Requirements for the RAID level of copy pair volumes differ depending on the storage subsystem or copy type.
Table 4-3
shows the combinations of the RAID levels of copy pair volumes.
