About creating V-VOLs
Replication Manager supports creation of V-VOLs on storage system configurations. This function is
only supported for XP24000/XP20000, HP P9500, or XP7 storage systems. After creating V-VOLs,
it is necessary to assign LUNs to them in order to create copy pairs. Assignment of LUNs should be
done using Device Manager. Replication Manager provides a wizard for creating V-VOLs and
associating them with volume pools.
