CommandCentral Glossary 51

volume

In storage media managed by Veritas Volume Manager, a virtual disk made up of

 

a portion or portions of one or more physical disks and representing an addressable

 

range of disk blocks. It is used by applications such as file systems or databases.

 

In an IBM DS6000 or DS8000 array, an addressable unit (LUN) that is created from

 

an extent pool. See also extent pool

 

In a NetApp unified storage device, a file system holding user data that is accessible

 

through one or more of the access protocols supported by Data ONTAP, including

 

NFS, CIFS, HTTP, WebDAV, FTP, FCP and iSCSI. Each volume depends on its

 

containing aggregate for all of its physical storage—that is, for all storage in the

 

aggregate’s disks and RAID groups. See also aggregate

Language)

tags to enable flexibility in sharing and displaying Web documents.

zone

A named subset of nodes and ports (zone members) on a single fabric. On a SAN,

 

fabrics secure data from unwanted access by restricting the interconnectivity

 

between nodes belonging to different zones.

zone alias

A symbolic name assigned to a device or group of devices on a SAN fabric. By

 

creating a zone alias, you can assign a familiar name to a device, or you can group

 

multiple devices into a single name. A zone alias must be a unique alphanumeric

 

string beginning with an alpha character. The underscore character ( _ ) is allowed,

 

and zone alias names are case sensitive.

zone member

An object (node or port) that belongs to a zone. An object can be a member of more

 

than one zone.

zone membership

For an object (node or port) on a SAN, the state or status of being a member of a

 

specific zone. A zone member can communicate only with other objects that are

 

members of the same zone—in other words, with objects that share at least one

 

zone membership with it.

zone set

A set of zone definitions for a single Fibre Channel fabric. Zone sets are useful for

 

defining and enforcing access restrictions that change, for example, at different

 

times during the day. A zone can belong to more than one zone set; however, only

 

one zone set for a given fabric can be active at one time.
