NOTE: Failure in this table excludes a condition in which access of an LU
is not allowed (for example, LU blockage).
V-VOLs number of SnapShot
Hitachi AMS 2000 Family Copy-on-Write SnapShot User Guide
One LU is used for a P-VOL on SnapShot and an S-VOL on Simple DR.
Table 1-2
shows whether a read/write from/to a P-VOL of SnapShot
on the remote side is possible when a P-VOL of SnapShot and an S-
VOL of Simple DR are the same LU.

+ indicates a possible case, – indicates an impossible case
∆
indicates a case where a pair operation causes an error (a case that
can occur as a result of a change of the pair status to Failure)
R/W: Read/Write by a host is possible.
R: Read by a host is possible but write is impossible.
W: Write by a host is possible but read is impossible.
R/W: Read/Write by a host is impossible.
•
V-VOLs of up to 32 generations can be made even in the case where
the P-VOL of SnapShot is cascaded with the P-VOL and S-VOL of
Simple DR in the same way as in the case where no cascade
connection is made.
