About Snapshot (Legacy) Premium Features With Virtual
Disk Copy
A source virtual disk for a virtual disk copy can be a standard virtual disk or a thin virtual disk (if
supported in your firmware version).
A target virtual disk can be a standard virtual disk in a disk group or disk pool, or a snapshot (legacy)
base virtual disk if the snapshot (legacy) premium feature is the only snapshot premium feature
enabled on your storage array. A virtual disk in a snapshot group cannot be a virtual disk copy target.
Snapshots created using the older (legacy) premium feature versions cannot be managed using newer
snapshot premium feature options.
