Symantec 5.1 manual Language or protocol, See also hard zoning, See SAN, See device, Subnets

	CommandCentral Glossary 47
	cooperating systems that must adhere to a common framework and a common
	language or protocol.
soft zoning	A fabric zoning method that filters the visibility of objects on the storage network
	so that an object can only see other objects that share at least one zone membership
	with it. Unlike hard zoning, soft zoning is not enforced at the switches themselves.
	See also hard zoning.
storage area network	See SAN
(SAN)
storage array	A collection of disks or tapes that are part of a storage subsystem, managed as a
	unit by a body of control software. The disks or tapes may be housed in a single
	physical device or in multiple devices. See also disk array tape device.
storage device	See device.
storage pool	A single entity representing a collection of LUNs. Using storage pools, storage
	administrators can create virtual disks of different sizes. These virtual disks can
	then be assigned to virtual machines.
Storage System	A NetApp unified storage device that operates using Data ONTAP software.
	MultiStore Virtual Systems, also known as Multistore devices, can be configured
	on physical filers (pfilers). See also NetApp unified storage.
storage view	A logical port defined for an array that supports SMI-S 1.1. When a storage view
	is defined, the array can support LUN masking with multiple, heterogeneous hosts
	through a single physical array port. See also array virtual port.
striping	A layout technique that spreads data across several physical disks by mapping
	the data to successive media, known as stripes, in a cyclic pattern. Also RAID Level
	0.
subnet	A portion of a storage network typically consisting of all machines in one locale,
	in one building, or on the same local area network (LAN). Internet Request for
	Comments 950 provides the standard procedure for creating and identifying
	subnets.
subnet mask	A 32-bit mask that identifies the portions of an IP address to be used for locating
	addresses in a subnetwork.
switch	A network device to which nodes attach and which provides high-speed switching
	of node connections via link-level addressing.
Symantec Private	A common component that uses socket passing to reduce the number of ports
Branch Exchange (PBX)	required to be open across a firewall. PBX uses a paradigm similar to that of a
	telephone switchboard in which calls placed to a switchboard are redirected to a
	known extension. In the PBX exchange, client connections sent to the exchange’s
	port are redirected to an extension associated with the CommandCentral Storage
	Management Server.
