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

Configuration Utility

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

 

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

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.
