Conditions for creating disk group split friendly snapshots

For successful Volume Replicator snapshot operation on an RVG, it is required that each data volume in this RVG is prepared and the prepared plex satisfies the condition for disk group split friendly snapshots. For creating disk group split friendly snapshots, the prepared plex must lie on a disk that does not contain any type of plex belonging to data volume or the Replicator Log of any RVG with the exception of the prepared plexes of the data volumes of this RVG (RVG on which the snapshot operation is carried out).

If the prepared plex has been appropriately created for each data volume in the RVG, the Volume Replicator snapshot operation will snapshot each data volume using these plexes. If the operation cannot find such a plex, it fails with a summary report, which details the name of the data volume and the prepared plex which could not satisfy the condition and the disks on which the plexes lie.
