Hi all,

I wonder wether there is a maximum supported number of sites to be used in the site awareness feature of VxVM... Does anybody know? I searched the admin guide, but found no information about this...

Thanks and best regards,
Christian

The site awareness feature uses volume tags, and the enforcement is done on the mirrors of a given volume. The limit on the number of mirrors of a given volume is 32, so that's the limit.

Now, if you're not really using the site awareness feature, and are just using the site tag name for tracking or inventory or reporting, then your constraint is how many tag names you can stuff into the private region --- but for that use case, you're probably better off creating your own volume tag rather than using the predefined site tag.
