    Dear All,

    When using FS5220 with 8.6.0.0 with CSM 6.3.9.0, CSM can make safeguard backup to FS5220 safeguard pool and restore also success. After upgrade FS5220 to 8.7.0.2, the CSM allow create snapshot session only and snapshot do not save the copy to safeguard pool. May I know how to create backup with CSM and save to safeguard pool again?

    Regards,
    KM Poon

    Hello - SafeGuarded snapshots no long require a separate pool for the snapshots (and in fact that is not best practices when using Volume Group Snapshot as the modern mechanism moving forward).  Please see https://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/pdfs/redp5737.pdf for detail.
