Working with THP V-VOLs
About THP V-VOLs
Thin Provisioning requires the use of THP V-VOLs, which are virtual volumes with no physical
memory space. In Thin Provisioning, multiple THP V-VOLs can be created.
A THP V-VOL is a volume in a thin provisioning storage system. It is the virtual volume from a THP
pool. Data in the THP pool is used via a THP V-VOL. A THP V-VOL is a virtual LU to some hosts.
On open systems, OPEN-V is the only supported emulation type on a THP V-VOL. You can define
multiple THP V-VOLs and assign them to a Thin Provisioning pool.
Relationship between a pool and THP V-VOLs
Before you can use Thin Provisioning, a THP V-VOL and a pool are required. Thin Provisioning
uses the pool volumes in a pool through the THP V-VOLs.
The following figure shows the relationship between a pool and THP V-VOLs.
Protecting THP V-VOLs
By using of the protecting function of THP V-VOL, when problems occur in the pool or pool-VOLs,
THP V-VOLs using the pool can be protected from read and write requests, and change the access
attribute of the THP V-VOL to the Protect attribute. The function to protect from reading and writing
of THP V-VOL when the pool usage reaches the full size is displayed in the window as
Protect
V-VOLs when I/O fails to Blocked Pool VOL
. The function to protect from reading and writing of
THP V-VOL when the pool-VOL is blocked is displayed in the window as
Protect V-VOLs when I/O
fails to Blocked Pool VOL
. For details about setting items, see
“Create Pools window” (page 314)
