I think you may be a little confused. There is always a requirement  
for a bitmap volume, even if at times there is a portion of this  
bitmap in memory. The bitmap is a key element is ensuring that all  
changes (write I/Os), get replicated.

There is never the option to only run a memory based bitmap, as the  
bitmap is always backed up by a bitmap volume.

As you can see from the output of "dsbitmap", it mentions a "Required  
bitmap volume size:"

I hope this helps. Chapter one of the following manual gives a Theory  
of Operations, which should help in understanding the importance of  
the bitmap volume.
