# Best Practices for the Hitachi Vantara Storage Array

Review the following best practices before using the Hitachi Vantara storage array.

## General

- Same size unallocated PVOL (Primary Volume) will be chosen to be converted into an SVOL while doing a shadow image operation for a PVOL.

- Ensure that sufficient disk space is available for snapshot operations and the disk space used by snapshots is monitored frequently. The space requirement for snapshots created during IntelliSnap backup can vary based on your environment. The space utilization is dependent on the number of snapshots created and the retention period defined for the snapshots.
