CommandCentral A database, residing on the Management Server, that gathers data related to

Storage database performance and monitoring, reports, alarms, service requests, and the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL). A Sybase ASA (Adaptive Server Anywhere) database management system, the database is installed silently when you install CommandCentral Storage.

CommandCentral

Storage Web Engine

Storage. The Web Engine receives data from one or more Servers and delivers the

 

data to users through a standard Web browser.

configured storage

Physical storage that has been formatted and is ready to be apportioned into RAID

 

groups. Contrast with unconfigured storage.

Console

See CommandCentral Storage Console.

DM (Data Module)

The Data Module is a subsystem of CommandCentral products that provides

 

Microsoft Exchange and file scanning details.

DM (Data Module)

A utility in CommandCentral Storage that parses data from the Data Module

Importer

Exchange explorer and the Data Module File Systems explorer and places it into

 

the CommandCentral Storage database. The DM Importer normally runs

 

automatically, but a user can manually start it using the Console.

DM (Data Module) rules User-configurable conditional statements that govern the behavior of the Data Module Exchange explorer and the Data Module File Systems explorer. (These explorers are part of the Data Module in CommandCentral Storage.) For each explorer, the rules control the scope of its discovery and the ways it gathers and logs data.

data store

See CommandCentral Storage database.

delete

In CommandCentral Storage, an operation that removes discovery information

 

about one or more objects from the CommandCentral Storage database. The states

 

of the objects themselves—for example, the existence of a LUN on an array or the

 

configuration of a switch—are not affected by the delete operation. Optionally,

 

deleted information can be restored to the database by a rediscover operation.

 

Contrast with destroy. See also rediscover.

destroy

In CommandCentral Storage, an operation that modifies the configuration of one

 

or more devices in the SAN. Examples are destroying zones and destroying port

 

bundles, both of which modify the configuration of one or more switches. Unlike
