This appendix describes
RAID Manager commands corresponding to actions in the
HDvM - SN GUI. Use
RAID Manager 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
RAID Manager as well as
Device Manager - Storage Navigator (HDvM - SN) to perform pair tasks. When you use
RAID Manager, perform tasks by running an existing command for pair tasks or a
RAID Manager command.
To identify the cause of errors that occur when you run
RAID Manager commands, refer to the log displayed in the
RAID Manager window or the
RAID Manager operation log file.
