CommandCentral	The software component that supplies the data seen by users of 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.

	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
