Dell PowerVault MD 32XX/36XX Series Storage Arrays CLI Guide

• When a base virtual disk that contains a snapshot group is added to an asynchronous remote replication group, the system automatically changes the repository full policy to automatically purge the oldest snapshot image and sets the auto-delete limit to the maximum allowable snapshot limit for a snapshot group.
• If the base virtual disk resides on a standard disk group, the repository members for any associated snapshot group can reside on either a standard disk group or a disk pool. If a base virtual disk resides on a disk pool, all repository members for any associated snapshot group must reside on the same disk pool as the base virtual disk.
• You cannot create a snapshot group on a failed virtual disk.
• If you attempt to create a snapshot image, that snapshot image creation operation might remain in a Pending state because of the following conditions:
  • The base virtual disk that contains this snapshot image is a member of an asynchronous remote replication group.
  • The base virtual disk is currently in a synchronizing operation. The snapshot image creation completes as soon as the synchronization operation is complete.
