Virtual disk concepts
Virtual disks overview
The replication manager uses the terms
virtual disk
and
virtual disk container
to indicate a
storage
systems identi
fi
cation or name
for a storage device. An important distinction between virtual disks and
virtual disk containers is that virtual disks can be presented to hosts for I/O, while containers cannot be
presented. See virtual disks
presentation
and
containers
.
Virtual disk properties are automatically discovered by the replication manager and are maintained in
the replication manager’s database. See resources
automatic discovery (refresh)
. Virtual disks and
containers are displayed in the Virtual Disks content pane. See virtual disks
views
. You can use a GUI
action, a job, or CLUI command to work with virtual disks and containers.
Virtual disks are also called
storage volumes
, especially in replication manager job commands.
Controller software features
The properties of storage systems, their virtual disks, and replication features depend upon the controller
software version. Controller software supported by the replication manager includes the following. For
support of newer versions, visit the HP Storage web site. See “
