If each data volume in the RVG has a prepared plex that is associated with it then you can force the snapshot operation for that RVG, even if snapshot ready plexes do not satisfy the requirements for RVG friendly disk group split operation. The snapshot operation completes successfully irrespective of whether the conditions that are mentioned are satisfied. Even if the snapshots are successfully created, performing a subsequent disk group split operation may not succeed when the force option is used.
