Manual for Virtual Storage Platform G1000

Hitachi Thin Image (HTI) allows for cost-effective replication by storing differential data between primary (P-VOL) and secondary (S-VOL) virtual volumes (V-VOLs). It can also copy entire volumes for higher performance. Key operations include creating Thin Image pairs, managing their status, and using features like snapshot trees and cascaded pairs. The system relies on components like Thin Image pairs, volume-related components (P-VOL, S-VOL, pools), and snapshot tree components. Software applications such as Dynamic Provisioning (HDP) and Command Control Interface (CCI) are integral to Thin Image functionality. Users can perform tasks through Device Manager - Storage Navigator or CCI. The document covers configuration, management, monitoring, and troubleshooting of Thin Image.
