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

A registered, 64-bit, unique identifier that is assigned to nodes and ports.
A specification developed by the W3C. XML allows designers to create custom
tags to enable flexibility in sharing and displaying Web documents.
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.
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.
An object (node or port) that belongs to a zone. An object can be a member of more
than one zone.
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.
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.
