Shane, Well that's not true. You can mix your basic volumes with HDP 3390-V volumes in the same array group. We've done this to see how it would be reported by RMF and it works just peachy. I hope he isn't from HDS :-(
There's nothing in the microcode that prevents this. You can make every array group a 50/50 mix of HDP and regular volumes if it takes you fancy. As for what century am I in? Well, our standard performance test volumes are 262K Cyl 3390-A in HDP pools with HyperPAV ratios of 64:192 on every CU and four big data sets per volume. While there are exceptions, I like the flexibility I get from this decade's technology Provisioning, tearing down and rebuilding test configs is soooo easy now.
