Not all storage system configurations are supported when sharing a Thin Image Advanced volume with a GAD volume.

When you create a Thin Image Advanced pair using a volume from a GAD pair, the server recognizes the GAD P-VOL and S-VOL as a single volume. If you create Thin Image Advanced pairs using both the P-VOL and S-VOL of a GAD pair, the server recognizes the GAD P-VOL and S-VOL as a single volume being paired with multiple volumes by Thin Image Advanced.
