Console provides a central point to display and manage storage resources, create
and modify policies, provision storage, administer access control, and view reports.
A database, residing on the Management Server, that gathers data related to
performance and monitoring, reports, alarms, service requests, and the Hardware
Abstraction Layer (HAL). A Sybase ASA (Adaptive Server Anywhere) database
management system, the database is installed silently when you install
CommandCentral Storage.
The portion of the CommandCentral Storage product offering that resides on the
primary host. It contains components such as the primary Hardware Abstraction
Layer, CommandCentral Storage database, web engine, and Alert Manager, Alarm
Service, and Data Module Importer.
The software component that supplies the data seen by users of CommandCentral
Storage. The Web Engine receives data from one or more Servers and delivers the
data to users through a standard Web browser.
Physical storage that has been formatted and is ready to be apportioned into RAID
groups. Contrast with unconfigured storage.
See CommandCentral Storage Console.
The Data Module is a subsystem of CommandCentral products that provides
Microsoft Exchange and file scanning details.
A utility in CommandCentral Storage that parses data from the Data Module
Exchange explorer and the Data Module File Systems explorer and places it into
the CommandCentral Storage database. The DM Importer normally runs
automatically, but a user can manually start it using the Console.
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.
See CommandCentral Storage database.
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.
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
