snapback for this purpose. This restriction does not apply if you split a
snapshot volume into a separate disk group from its original volume, and
subsequently return the snapshot volume to the original disk group.
For more information, see “Volume Snapshots” on page 51 and
“FastResync” on page 53.
Disk Group Split and Join
NOTE You may need an additional license to use this feature.
A volume, such as a snapshot volume, can be split off into a separate disk
group and deported. It is then ready for importing on another host that is
dedicated to off-host processing. This host need not be a member of a
cluster but must have access to the disks. At a later stage, the disk group
can be deported, re-imported, and joined with the original disk group or
with a different disk group.
For more information, see “Reorganizing the Contents of Disk Groups”
on page 152.
