Glossary

access group	See array virtual port.
active zone set	The zone set that is currently enforced on a Fibre Channel fabric. Only one zone
	set can be active for a fabric at a given time. See also zone set.
addressable storage	See LUN storage.
addressable unit	Any storage resource in the network that is ready to be allocated for use by hosts
	and applications. Also called AddrUnit or AU. See also LUN.
Agent	See managed host
aggregate	A manageable unit of RAID-protected storage in a NetApp unified storage device,
	consisting of one or two plexes and containing one traditional volume or multiple
	FlexVol volumes. See also volume.
Alarm Service	See CommandCentral Storage Alarm Service.
alert	One of several types of configurable notifications produced when a
	CommandCentral Storage Alert Manager alarm is triggered. Every alert in
	CommandCentral Storage is dynamic, resetting itself automatically when a
	condition monitored by a policy returns to its specified CLEAR state.
Alert Manager	See CommandCentral Storage Alert Manager
allocated storage	The total amount of addressable storage in LUNs that is designated for use by
	specific hosts. A LUN is considered allocated when a host operating system has
	written a device handle for the LUN (in other words, claimed the LUN) or when
	the array has masked the LUN to a specific target. Contrast with unallocated
	storage.
application	A program or group of programs designed to perform a specific task. Oracle
	Database and Veritas NetBackup are examples of applications.
arbitrated loop	A topology for Fibre Channel networks in which nodes are connected in a single
	logical loop or ring created by tying the transmit lead of one node loop port to the
	receive lead of its downstream neighbor. There are primarily two types of
	arbitrated loops—public loops and private loops. A public loop is attached to a
	SAN fabric. A private loop is a free-standing arbitrated loop with no SAN
	attachment.
array	See storage array.
array host group	See array virtual port.
