You can create Thin Image Advanced pairs using pair volumes for other replication software applications, such as ShadowImage and TrueCopy. You can also create Thin Image Advanced pairs using volumes to which you define attributes using Data Retention Utility or CCI.

You can share Thin Image Advanced volumes with the following software application volumes:

  • Data Retention Utility
  • ShadowImage (SI)
  • TrueCopy (TC)
  • Universal Replicator (UR)
  • Global-active device (GAD)
  • Resource Partition Manager

The following table shows when you can share Thin Image Advanced pair volumes with other software application volumes. If a volume that you share with a Thin Image Advanced volume is shown in the table, the pair status determines whether you can perform tasks. If the S-VOL is not assigned to snapshot data, you cannot share Thin Image Advanced volumes with other software applications, because the S-VOL does not exist.

Note: For node or leaf volumes, see the Used as a Thin Image Advanced S-VOL column instead of the Used as a Thin Image Advanced P-VOL column.
