Thin Image pairs

An HTI pair consists of a P-VOL, one or more S-VOLs, and one or more pool-VOLs. An S-VOL is only necessary if you want to create an HTI pair with an S-VOL specified. Otherwise, an HTI pair consists of a P-VOL and one or more pool-VOLs.

The P-VOL is an individual logical data volume, or logical device (LDEV). The S-VOL is a V-VOL. LDEVs include V-VOLs of provisioning type HDP. Only a V-VOL created for HTI can be specified as an S-VOL. P-VOL differential data is stored as snapshot data in pool-VOLs (LDEVs).
