2 TB or less. This increases the usable capacity of storage configurations by reducing the total number of parity disks required when using parity-protected RAID levels. This differs from using a volume larger than 2 TB, which requires specific support by the host operating system, I/O adapter, and - HP MSA 1040 | HP MSA 1040 SMU Reference Guide (762784-001, March 2014) - Page 18
. If all the disk types in a vdisk have the same number of disks, the type that has the smallest capacity disk will be used. If both types have the same capacity disks, enterprise SAS will be the preferred type. Dedicated spares are considered part of a vdisk, so they do not use this logic to - HP MSA 1040 | HP MSA 1040 SMU Reference Guide (762784-001, March 2014) - Page 19
to incompatible CHAP definitions. This information may be useful in configuring CHAP entries for new hosts.

same location in the snap pool; this reduces the impact of snapshots when writing to a master volume. In addition, only a single copy-on-write operation is performed on the master volume. The storage system allows a maximum number of snapshots to be retained, as determined by an installed license - HP MSA 1040 | HP MSA 1040 SMU Reference Guide (762784-001, March 2014) - Page 24
copies of, or replicate volumes in a vdisk, ensure that the vdisk contains no more than four master volumes, snap pools, or both. For example: 2 master volumes and 2 snap pools; 3 master volumes and 1 snap pool; 4 master volumes and 0 snap pools.

While a snapshot is a point-in-time logical copy of a volume, the volume copy service creates a complete "physical" copy of a volume within a storage system. It is an exact copy of a source volume as it existed at the time the volume copy operation was initiated, consumes the same amount of space as - HP MSA 1040 | HP MSA 1040 SMU Reference Guide (762784-001, March 2014) - Page 26
