36 CommandCentral Glossary

array virtual port	A logical—or, as it is commonly called, "virtual"—port defined for some array types
	that support SMI-S 1.0.2 and earlier. When an array virtual port (or AVP) is defined,
	the array can support LUN masking with multiple, heterogeneous hosts through
	a single physical array port. Depending on the array vendor, array virtual ports
	may also be known as host storage domains, array host groups, access groups,
	and affinity groups. See also storage view.
attribute	A property of an object that describes something about the object—such as its
	World Wide Name. The number and kind of attributes displayed for a resource
	depend on what type of object it is.
Audit Log	A text file that contains a list of all changes made to the Hardware Abstraction
	Layer—such as devices added and removed—and to the CommandCentral Storage
	Alert Manager—such as modifications to policy and alert notification and changes
	to configuration settings.
Authentication Service	See Symantec Product Authentication Service.
Authorization Service	See Symantec Product Authorization Service.
available storage	Configured storage that has not yet been apportioned into addressable units
	(LUNs). This storage is typically part of RAID groups. Contrast with LUN storage.
BCV (business	An area of virtual storage that maps to a LUN on an EMC Symmetrix or DMX array
continuance volume)	and provides redundancy. Each BCV contains a copy of a standard device (STD).
binding	See LUN binding.
bridge	A device that connects and passes packets between two segments of a storage
	network that use the same communications protocol. See also router.
broadcast address	An IP address specified for discovering hosts running the Hardware Abstraction
	Layer (both Management Servers and managed hosts) within a subnet.
	255.255.255.255 is a special IP address that CommandCentral Storage can use to
	search for hosts within a subnet without crossing a subnet boundary.
bundle	A logical grouping consisting of up to 16 physical links. CommandCentral Storage
	can discover, act upon, and display information about a bundle as if it were a
	single link. Also called port bundle.
capacity	The amount of storage an object can allocate or use.
ccconfig	See Command Central Configuration Utility.
circuit breaker	A function in the Veritas Alert Manager that automatically limits the number of
	notifications sent to a recipient within a specified time.
claimed storage	Storage for which at least one host’s operating system has created a device handle.
	Contrast with unclaimed storage.
