Workflow for creating and managing Thin Image pairs

Use this workflow to create and manage a Thin Image pair.

1. Create the data pool (see Creating Thin Image data pools).
2. Create the V-VOL for the pair (see Creating V-VOLs for Thin Image S-VOLs).
3. Check the pair status (see Checking Thin Image pair status).
4. Create the Thin Image pair in one of the following ways.
   • Create the pair using HDvM - SN.

     For more information about how to create HTI pairs using HDvM - SN, see Workflow for creating Thin Image pairs using Device Manager - Storage Navigator.

   • Create the pair using RAID Manager and assign the pair to a snapshot group.

     For more information about how to create Thin Image pairs using RAID Manager, see Creating Thin Image pairs and defining them in snapshot or consistency groups using RAID Manager.

5. If you have assigned the pairs to a consistency group, split the Thin Image pair using the consistency group to store snapshot data.
6. Delete the snapshot data in one of the following ways.
   • Delete the Thin Image pairs (see Deleting Thin Image pairs).
   • Delete only the snapshot data (see Resynchronizing Thin Image pairs).
