Components of Thin Image

Thin Image typically consists of several components, including pairs, groups, and software applications. Thin Image requires Dynamic Provisioning, which is used to access data for open-system servers such as UNIX and PC servers in a pool volume through a virtual volume.

Thin Image components:

• Thin Image pairs (clone and snapshot pairs).

• Volume related components (P-VOL, S-VOL, and pools)

• Snapshot tree related components (root volume, node volumes, and leaf volumes)

Groups:

• Consistency groups

• Snapshot groups

Software applications for VSP family storage systems:

• Thin Image

• Dynamic Provisioning (HDP)

• Command Control Interface (CCI)

You can run CCI commands to perform Thin Image tasks (see Pair tasks using CCI or Device Manager - Storage Navigator).
