When the S-VOL is larger than the mapped external volume P-VOL, you must adjust the capacity of the volume.

  1. Map the external volume with emulation type OPEN-V.
  2. Make sure the volume's emulation type is OPEN-V.
  3. Decrease the size of the S-VOL by creating a custom volume (CV) as shown in the following figure.


    Base the CV capacity on Blocks, which displays in the Capacity column on the LDEV Information dialog box in Device Manager - Storage Navigator. See the Provisioning Guide for instructions on creating CVs.

  4. Create the pair.
