48 CommandCentral Glossary

Symantec Product	A component of Veritas Security Services (VxSS) that is used by CommandCentral
Authentication Service	Storage to provide user authentication. Authentication Service is a set of processes
	and runtime libraries that enables users to log on to multiple Veritas products
	with one login. See also Symantec Product Authorization Service.
Symantec Product	A common component, also known as VRTSaz, that provides a centralized access
Authorization Service	control decision-making service. After the Authentication Service has validated
	user identities, the Authorization Service makes access control decisions,
	determining whether specific users have the authority to perform specific tasks
	on specific resources being protected by authorization. The Hardware Abstraction
	Layer (HAL) is the only part of CommandCentral Storage to use the Authorization
	Service, using it to control access for inter-process communication. See also
	Symantec Product Authentication Service.
system	The physical hardware on which data and applications reside, and the connections
	between them.
tape device	A storage device that writes data to tape. CommandCentral Storage identifies a
	tape drive, tape transport, and tape arrays as a tape device.
tape mark	A mark that is recorded between backup images on a tape.
Task Manager	A CommandCentral Storage Management Server component that manages
	user-initiated requests to requests to change the status or configuration of objects
	in the network and to add, edit, and delete users. The Task Manager maintains a
	list of completed, pending, and active tasks. The list can be viewed using the
	Console Task Status tab.
topology	The physical or logical arrangement of resources on the storage network and the
	connections between them.
Topology Map	A graphical representation of the physical or logical arrangement of storage
	resources in the network. The Topology Map depicts both the objects on the
	network and the connections between them. In CommandCentral Storage, the
	Topology Map displays on the Console's Topology tab.
unallocated storage	LUNs that have not yet been allocated. A LUN is considered allocated when a host
	operating system has written a device handle for the LUN (in other words, claimed
	the LUN) or when the array has masked the LUN to a specific target. Contrast
	with allocated storage
unclaimed storage	Storage that has been allocated to hosts whose operating systems have not yet
	written device handles. This is usually wasted storage. Contrast with claimed
	storage
unconfigured storage	Physical storage that has yet to be formatted. Contrast with configured storage
unidentified adapter	An HBA or storage device that has logged into a Fibre Channel switch and about
	which CommandCentral Storage has no information. For HBAs, this can occur
