Protect a Standalone Volume
Some volumes may not need to be part of a volume collection. You can associate standalone volumes with volume collections to define their snapshot and replication schedules. The volume collection associated with a standalone volume cannot contain any other volumes.
There is no difference between a volume collection of a standalone volume and any other volume collection from the standpoint of the CLI.
NOTE: You can remove a stand-alone volume collection or remove protection from a
volume in a stand-alone volume collection by editing the volume and marking it
as “Unprotected.” Then the volume can be added to a volume collection that
contains volumes that are not stand-alone.
Creating a volume
collection:
$ volcoll --create Collection1
Associating a standalone volume with the volume collection:
$ vol --assoc VolumeA --volcoll Collection1
