Virtual disk concepts
Virtual disks overview
The replication manager uses the terms virtual disk and virtual disk container to indicate a storage
systems identification or name for a storage device. An important distinction between virtual disks
and virtual disk containers is that virtual disks can be presented to hosts for I/O, but containers
cannot be presented. See virtual disks Presentation and Containers.
Virtual disk properties are automatically discovered by the replication manager and are maintained
in the replication manager's database. See resources Automatic discovery (refresh). Virtual disks
and containers are displayed in the Virtual Disks content pane. See Virtual disks views. You can
use a GUI action, a job, or CLUI command to work with virtual disks and containers.
Virtual disks are also called storage volumes, especially in replication manager job commands.
