duplicated synchronously or asynchronously on the secondary volume (S-VOL).
The following Hitachi products use the term P-VOL: Thin Image, Copy-on-Write Snapshot,
ShadowImage, TrueCopy, Universal Replicator, Universal Replicator for Mainframe, and High
Availability Manager.

quick format
The quick format feature in Virtual LVI/Virtual LUN in which the formatting of the internal volumes is
done in the background. This allows system
configuration
(such as
defining
a path or creating a
TrueCopy pair) before the formatting is completed. To execute quick formatting, the volumes must
be in blocked status.
quick restore
A reverse resynchronization in which no data is actually copied: the primary and secondary volumes
are swapped.
