Logical Volume Manager support (AIX only)

You can use IBM® Storage Protect Snapshot in environments where volume groups are mirrored between two storage clusters by using Logical Volume Manager (LVM) mirroring on AIX®.

This support is provided on IBM System Storage® DS8000®, IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller, IBM Storwize® family, and IBM XIV® Storage System. When LVM mirroring is used to mirror volume groups between two storage clusters, a snapshot backup is created such that only one mirror is being copied.
