iSAN Modes of Operation

Snapshot Snapshot one CIMOM or Merge multiple CIMOM to one snapshot Helps in device unavailability, Network Latency Base for what-if-analysis Configuration Scalability No real device availability with a configuration for snapshot What-if-analysis View before provision action or configuration modification
