Hitachi Dynamic Link Manager required only initially for metro
distances:
 DKC returns information indicating prioritized path or non-
prioritized path with SCSI Inquiry of each path.
 Hitachi Dynamic Link Manager handles the path for which
prioritized path is returned with SCSI Inquiry as the
shortest path to the data.
 DKC changes the content returned with SCSI Inquiry to
information of non-prioritized path when a new HMO in the
host Group when cross site path is set.
* NOTE: ALUA support target is V03, Hitachi Dynamic Link Manager will
then not be needed for OS’s and path failover products that support ALUA.

Hitachi NAS Platform with minimal downtime
 Data appears as if it’s on Hitachi NAS Platform
local file systems, when in reality it’s still on external
NAS (e.g., NTAP)
 Data migrated transparently from legacy NAS to
Hitachi NAS Platform without interruption to front-
end clients
