license capacity for both logical volumes A and B. Therefore, LUN Security XP Extension needs

4 GB of license capacity.

Figure 2

Calculating license capacity

NOTE:

If you do not change the logical volumes’ default access attribute, which is Read/Write,

you do not need extra license capacity. For example, in

Figure 2

, if you set VMA on logical volumes

A and B when they do not form a pair, 2 GB of license capacity is enough. However, in

Figure 2

,

VMA is set on logical volume A and logical volume A’s access attribute is changed to Read Only.

Since logical volumes A and B form a pair, in

Figure 2

, you need 4 GB of license capacity.

When you set VMA and the access attribute to a logical volume that is not specified as the logical

volume of a pair, and then create a pair using that logical volume, you need enough license

capacity for both logical volumes forming the pair. Therefore, if LUN Security XP Extension’s license

capacity is insufficient, you cannot create a pair even if the license capacity of local disk array copy

software is sufficient.

Figure 3

shows an example of this case.
