Prerequisites for configuring Thin Image

Before you perform Thin Image configuration tasks, complete the following tasks:

• Install a sufficient amount of shared memory, also known as control memory.

For more information about installing shared memory, contact customer support.

• Create a V-VOL management area in the shared memory. This area is automatically created when you install additional shared memory.

  The terms "shared memory" and "control memory" refer to the same hardware on different VSP storage systems. The term "shared memory" is used for VSP G1000, and the term "control memory" is used for VSP G200, G400, G600, G800. In this topic, "shared memory" is used to mean either.
