CommandCentral Glossary 39

 

deleted objects, destroyed objects cannot be restored to the CommandCentral

 

Storage database by a rediscover operation. Contrast with delete.

device

A collective term for disks, tapes, disk arrays, tape arrays, and any other objects

 

that store data. Also storage device.

device handle

The name the operating system uses to identify a storage resource (known as an

 

addressable unit or LUN), and the correct means (driver, system call) to access it.

 

Also OS handle.

discovery

The process of finding objects on the storage network and adding information

 

about them to a database. In CommandCentral Storage, most discovery is done

 

by the Hardware Abstraction Layer, which stores information about storage

 

resources in the CommandCentral Storage database. Discovery of storage arrays

 

is performed by the Veritas Array Integration Layer (VAIL). See also explorer and

 

extended discovery.

discovery data store

In CommandCentral Storage version 4.x, the cached database containing the

 

names and attributes of all objects discovered and maintained by the SAN Access

 

Layer (SAL). In version 5.x, the discovery data store no longer exists. Discovery

 

data is stored in the CommandCentral Storage database.

disk array

A collection of disks controlled and managed through firmware. See also storage

 

array.

disk device

A rewriteable, randomly addressable data storage device.

disk group

A collection of disks that share a common configuration. A disk group

 

configuration is a set of records containing detailed information on existing Veritas

 

Volume Manager objects (such as disk and volume attributes) and their

 

relationships. Each disk group has an administrator-assigned name and an

 

internally defined unique ID. The root disk group (rootdg) is a special private disk

 

group that always exists.

File Scanning explorer

Any one of several explorers in CommandCentral Storage that gathers data by

 

scanning data on in host file systems. See also DM (Data Module) Importer.

DMP (Dynamic

A feature of Veritas Volume Manager that provides greater reliability and better

Multipathing)

performance by using path failover and load balancing for multiported disk arrays

 

connected to host systems through multiple paths. DMP detects the various paths

 

to a disk using a mechanism that is specific to each supported array type. DMP

 

can also differentiate between different enclosures of a supported array type that

 

are connected to the same host system.

enclosure

In CommandCentral Storage, a method for visually grouping objects in the

 

Console’s Managing Summary pane or Topology Map. For example, a user might

 

choose to represent a JBOD visually as an enclosure instead of as one or more

 

separate disks.
