Configuration Guidelines
- Non-SRDF installations: maximum of three
active copies per production volume
- SRDF installations: maximum of three active
copies per source volume and three per target volume
- Limit of one active BCV for each production
volume per Symmetrix
- A BCV can be assigned or reassigned to any
production volume provided no other active BCV mirror exists for
that volume
- The production volume must be protected by
an existing mirror (RAID 1), EMC RAID-S, or SRDF. The production
volume and the BCV must have the same track geometry and an equal
number of cylinders
