Hitachi Universal Volume Manager
Hitachi Universal Volume Manager connects external block storage to a local storage system and maps its volumes for host access. Hosts can use those mapped volumes in the same way as volumes held in the local system. Documented uses include assigning external volumes to hosts, backup, and moving data from an older storage system. Connections use Fibre Channel; iSCSI is also available for VSP One Block. The guide identifies supported third-party systems and provides a generic Fibre Channel profile for systems that meet part of the standard SCSI Primary Commands set. Operations are available through the REST API, Storage Advisor Embedded, and CCI. Mapped volumes can be used with other storage products, including Dynamic Provisioning, TrueCopy, ShadowImage, and Universal Replicator. For VSP One Block, up to 4,096 external storage systems and eight mapping paths per external volume are supported. Each mapped external volume is limited to 256 TB; data above that capacity cannot be accessed. The feature requires a license on the local storage system, and pricing is on request.
