Virtual disk concepts Virtual disks overview The replication manager uses the terms virtual disk and virtual disk container to indicate a storage systems identification 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 "Helpful web sites" on page 19.
