Global Storage Virtualization Function - Hitachi VSP F1500 User And Reference Manual

Global storage virtualization function

The global storage virtualization function enables you to minimize rewrites of
configuration definition files (horcm*.conf) when you operate volumes
migrated from older models to the VSP G1000, VSP G1500, VSP F1500, VSP
Gx00 models, or VSP Fx00 models. You can also minimize the modification of
the script file that you used for the older models, when you operate volumes
using the script file created by you. For details about the global storage
virtualization function, see the Provisioning Guide for the storage system.
Volume migration (nondisruptive migration) from older models by using the
global storage virtualization function is supported only on the VSP G1000,
VSP G1500, VSP F1500, VSP Gx00 models, and VSP Fx00 models.
