About Command Control Interface
The Command Control Interface software enables you to perform storage
system configuration and data management operations by issuing commands
to the Hitachi RAID storage systems:
Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G200, G400, G600, G800
Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F400, F600, F800
Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G1000 and G1500 (VSP G1000 and
G1500)
For information about availability of Virtual Storage Platform F1500,
contact your Hitachi Data Systems representative.
Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F1500 (VSP F1500)
Hitachi Unified Storage VM (HUS VM)
Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP)
Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM (USP V/VM)
Hitachi TagmaStore® Universal Storage Platform (TagmaStore USP)
Hitachi TagmaStore® Network Storage Controller (TagmaStore NSC)
CCI continues to provide the proven functionality that has been available for
the USP V/VM and previous storage system models, including in-system
replication, remote replication, and data protection operations.
In addition, CCI for VSP and later provides command-line access to the same
provisioning and storage management operations that are available in the
GUI software (for example, Hitachi Command Suite, Storage Navigator). CCI
commands can be used interactively or in scripts to automate and
standardize storage administration functions, thereby simplifying the job of
the storage administrator and reducing administration costs.
Note: If a storage system rejects CCI commands, verify the software licenses
for the storage system (for example, TrueCopy) and the status of the
software product and storage system.
