Thin Image system requirements
Before you install, uninstall, configure and use Thin Image, review the
requirements for the storage system, licensing, volumes, data pools,
consistency groups and snapshot groups.
The following is a list of requirements for completing HTI tasks:
• You have a VSP family storage system with P-VOL and S-VOLs.
• HTI and HDP, which run on HDvM - SN computers, are installed.
HDP accesses data in pool-VOLs by way of V-VOLs. It can handle data in
open-system servers such as UNIX and PC servers.
• The hardware and microcode (or firmware) is configured and set up.
• You have used HDvM - SN to install the license key for HDP.
For more information about license keys and installing HDvM - SN and
HDP, see the System Administrator Guide for your storage system.
