CLARiiON storage group

In an EMC CLARiiON storage array, a set of addressable units (LUNs) defined so

 

that an operator can perform one LUN masking operation for the entire set of

 

LUNs rather than separately for each LUN. Contrast with storage group.

cluster

A set of hosts (each termed a node) that share a set of disks and are connected by

 

a set of redundant heartbeat networks. A cluster can have from one to 32 member

 

systems, or nodes. Also called VCS cluster. Specific to virtualization, one or more

 

virtualization servers.

cluster communication

Communication between clusters using either of the two core communication

 

protocols defined by Veritas Cluster Server: GAB and LLT. The communication

 

takes place by means of heartbeat signals sent between systems or fast

 

kernel-to-kernel broadcasts.

collector

A measurement representing a specific state or numerical value for objects in the

 

storage network. The Alarm Service uses collectors to monitor and correlate status

 

and performance information, using several different processes. The Alert Manager

 

uses information gathered by collectors to trigger policy actions such as SMTP

 

mail, console alerts, commands, and logging. See also policy.

Command Central

A program, used in earlier releases of the SANPoint Control and CommandCentral

Configuration Utility

Storage products, that scanned the storage network in order to identify potential

 

configuration problems before installation. The program is no longer supported.

CommandCentral

A product offering designed to maximize the return on an enterprise’s storage

Storage

technology investment by providing tools with which a storage administrator can

 

make the storage network or SAN operate as effectively as possible.

CommandCentral

Storage Agent Push

Install Utility

A Windows-based utility with which you can install an agent that enables the collection of data through a variety of explorers. Using the Agent Push Install Utility, you can manage installs, upgrades, and uninstalls for multiple Windows-based managed hosts from one central location.

CommandCentral

A Server component (Windows service/UNIX daemon) that retrieves and correlates

Storage Alarm Service

SNMP and other data and sends alerts to the CommandCentral Storage Alert

 

Manager for further processing using defined policies. The Alarm Service has a

 

command-line interface—vxascmd—with which you can connect to an Alarm

 

Service server to obtain server and object information and perform various Alarm

 

Service commands and queries.

CommandCentral

A Server component that manages policies associated with objects on the storage

Storage Alert Manager

network. A policy associates certain sets of conditions with storage resources and

 

defines actions to be taken when these conditions are detected. The Alert Manager

 

is seamlessly integrated with the CommandCentral Storage product so that Console

 

users can monitor, define, and modify policies.

CommandCentral

A graphical user interface that displays reports and other information for users

Storage Console

of the CommandCentral Storage product through a standard Web browser. The
