type. For example, on Symmetrix, you cannot select a mirrored volume and a BCV (business

continuous volume) to create a meta volume.
When you first discover a storage system, no free extents are displayed. This is because the

management server puts all unmapped volumes into the “unmapped” category for the list of

volumes by default. To move a volume to the free extent node, delete the unmapped volume.

When the volume is deleted, it is moved to the free extents node. The free extents category is

used internally by the management server. See ”

Deleting a Storage Volume

” on page 550

for more information.

IMPORTANT:

Make sure the free extents you select are not being used. Data on the free

extents becomes unusable when a meta volume is created
