Some Thin Image Advanced pair task operations are processed in the background after the requested task is accepted. The total number of pairs that can be simultaneously processed in the background in a storage system is limited by the number of MP units in the storage system.
The following table describes the number of pairs that can be processed simultaneously for each number of CBX pairs on VSP 5000 series.
Number of CBX pairs | Number of pairs that can be processed simultaneously | |
---|---|---|
1 | VSP 5100, VSP 5200 | 64* |
VSP 5500, VSP 5600 | 128* | |
2 | VSP 5000 series | 256* |
3 | VSP 5000 series | 384* |
* The total number for all pair task operations |
For VSP E series, the number of pairs that can be processed simultaneously is 64 in total for all pair task operations.
When you execute additional pair task operations above these limits, the tasks are processed in the order requested.
