Workflow for creating groups and storing snapshot data using the RAID Manager

You can use RAID Manager raidcom commands to create a consistency or snapshot group and
to split pairs to store the snapshot data for the group. With BC, BC Z, and FS, you can create up
to 256 consistency groups in a XP7 storage system.

The following figure illustrates how snapshot data is stored for a consistency or snapshot group
