Using Hitachi software products, the number of pairs, migration plans, and pool capacities and virtual volumes depend on the amount of capacity of shared memory installed on the controller.

The shared memory capacity allocated by shared memory function and the cache memory capacity required for adding shard memory function vary depending on storage system models.
