vmax clones
Hi All,
I have to implement clones(VMAX) in our environment so i need some info regarding thin devices.
Source devices are currently participating in SRDF(R1) i.e i want to implement clones at primary site.
Q1.Can i implement clones when source is a thick device and target is a thin device.
Q2. thin to thin
Q3.Any raid and meta member restrictions
Q4.Can r1 or r2 be the source for snap target.
Thanks
