when the SAN runs an unsupported HBA card or driver version, there is no

 

managed host attached to the HBA, or the Management Server is not configured

 

to communicate with the managed host. For storage devices, this can occur when

 

no LUNs are visible to a managed host (usually due to zoning or LUN masking

 

security).

unified logging

A common logging library used by Symantec products and components to log

 

information about errors and other events. CommandCentral Storage users can

 

manage and view these logs using Symantec common log tools: hallog, vxlogmgr,

 

vxlogview, vxlogcfg, and vxloggen.

A single, unified means for presenting information about disk storage array

Integration Layer)

subsystems to a variety of storage management software products including the

 

CommandCentral Storage offering. VAIL has a configuration tool—vaildiag—with

 

which you can configure VAIL providers to manage disk storage arrays.

VEA (Veritas Enterprise A separate middleware server used by the SAN Access Layer and other processes

Administrator) to provide client-server communication. The VEA infrastructure enables software components to share information about objects, manage those objects, and effect change on those objects.

Veritas Cluster Server An open systems clustering solution that minimizes planned and unplanned

(VCS)

downtime, simplifies server consolidation, and allows the effective management

 

of a wide range of applications in multiplatform environments.

Veritas Cluster Server A cluster consisting of multiple systems connected in various combinations to

cluster

shared storage devices. Cluster Server monitors and controls applications running

 

in the cluster and can restart applications in response to a variety of hardware or

 

software faults. A cluster is defined as all systems with the same cluster

 

identification and connected via a set of redundant heartbeat networks. Clusters

 

can have from one to 32 member systems, or nodes.

Veritas Cluster Server A set of resources working together to provide application services to clients. For

service group

example, a Web application service group might consist of: disk groups on which

 

the Web pages to be served are stored; a volume built in the disk group; a file

 

system using the volume; a database whose table spaces are files and whose rows

 

contain page pointers; the network interface card or cards used to export the Web

 

service; one or more IP addresses associated with the network card(s); the

 

application program and associated code libraries. Cluster Server performs
