What is the maximum number of virtual volumes allowed in a consistency group?

The maximum number of virtual volumes allowed in a consistency group is 1000. This limit is crucial for maintaining both performance and manageability within the storage environment. When multiple virtual volumes are grouped together in a consistency group, it ensures that they can be managed as a single entity for operations such as snapshots or replication, maintaining data consistency across them.

Setting a limit at 1000 virtual volumes helps avoid complications that could arise from manipulation of a larger number of volumes simultaneously. These complications can include increased performance overhead, risks of timeout or failure during operations, and greater complexity in managing interdependencies among the volumes.

Overall, by adhering to this limit, organizations can enhance their system stability and ensure efficient execution of storage operations, which is essential for effective data management in a virtualized storage solution like VPLEX.
