Overview of using CCI to run commands through in-band connections

Use CCI to run commands through an in-band connection to perform Thin Image tasks. To run the command through an in-band connection, reserve a volume for use as a command device.

If you use CCI to run commands through an out-of-band connection, you do not need to reserve a volume.

CautionFor maximum host I/O performance, use CCI to run commands through an in-band connection.

For more information about reserving a volume for use as a command device, see the Command Control Interface User and Reference Guide.

For more information about CCI commands that correspond to actions in the HDvM - SN GUI, see CCI command reference for Thin Image.
