A Business Copy XP and Snapshot XP pair cannot have the same mirror unit (MU) number. For example, if the Business Copy
XP pair’s MU number is 0, you cannot create a Snapshot XP pair whose MU number is 0 and whose P-VOL is also used
as a Business Copy XP P-VOL. Also, if the Snapshot XP pair’s MU number is 1, you cannot create a Business Copy XP pair
whose MU number is 1 and whose P-VOL is also used as a Snapshot XP P-VOL.
