You can use Navisphere Express to perform tasks such as creating disk pools,
binding the virtual disks, and downloading the firmware. Additionally, you
can use Snapshot Management to capture point-in-time images of a virtual
disk for backups or testing without affecting the contents of the source virtual
disk. You can also use the SAN Copy feature in Navisphere Express to move
data from the virtual disks on one storage system to the virtual disks on
another storage system without using the host CPU cycles.
