Thin Image stores snapshot data in DP pools (Pool Type: Dynamic Provisioning in HDvM - SN, or pools created by the raidcom add dp_pool command and displayed by the raidcom get pool -keyoption in CCI) or Thin Image pools (Pool Type: Thin Image in HDvM - SN, or pools created by the raidcom add snap_pool command and displayed by the raidcom get pool -key option in CCI). Unless they are defined otherwise, both DP pools and Thin Image pools are referred to as "pools". A pool consists of multiple pool volumes (pool-VOLs) which are, as a group, the container for the snapshot data.
You must create pools to use Thin Image. You can create pools and add and delete pool-VOLs from them using Thin Image.
The following figure illustrates the relationship between a Thin Image pair and a pool.
