This appendix describes
CCI commands corresponding to actions in the
HDvM - SN GUI. Use
CCI to perform
Thin Image tasks by entering commands from a host.
The high-speed, nondisruptive snapshot technology of
Thin Image rapidly creates up to 1,024 point in-time copies of mission-critical information within the storage system or virtualized storage pool without impacting host service or performance levels. Because snapshots store only the changed data, the volume of storage capacity required for each snapshot copy is substantially smaller than the source volume, providing significant savings over full-volume cloning methods. Cascaded snapshot configuration and cloning enables creation of snapshot trees and full-copy clones from snapshots using
Thin Image.
You can use CCI as well as Device Manager - Storage Navigator (HDvM - SN) to perform pair tasks. When you use CCI, perform tasks by running an existing command for pair tasks or a CCI command.
