information for each small object in the collection. All of the small objects in the
collection are the same size. See also,
object storage
An approach to storing data where the data is accessed by unique identifiers and not by a
user-defined hierarchy of directories and files. Each object has both data (for example, a
picture) and metadata (for example, the date the picture was taken). Object storage
operations act on entire objects as opposed to reading and writing bytes as is commonly
done with files, and provided via APIs or HTTP instead of NAS (CIFS/NFS) or block
protocols (iSCSI/ FC/FCOE).
object store
A configured file system on a disk volume. The configuration includes a specific directory
structure and resources initialized at system installation.
OID
Object Identifier. The unique identifier of an object.
primary Admin Node
Admin Node that hosts the CMN service. Each StorageGRID Webscale system has only
one primary Admin Node. See also,
provisioning
The process of generating a new or updated Recovery Package and GPT repository. See

quorum
A simple majority: 50% + 1. Some system functionality requires a quorum of the total
number of a particular service type.
Recovery Package
A .zip file containing deployment-specific files and software needed to install, expand,
upgrade, and maintain a StorageGRID Webscale system. The package also contains
system-specific configuration and integration information, including server hostnames and
IP addresses, and highly confidential passwords needed during system maintenance,
upgrade, and expansion. See also,

SATA
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment. A connection technology used to connect server
and storage devices.
SCSI
Small Computer System Interface. A connection technology used to connect servers and
peripheral devices, such as storage systems.
segment container
An object created by the StorageGRID Webscale system during the segmentation process.
Object segmentation splits a large object into a collection of small objects (segments) and
creates a segment container to track the collection. A segment container contains the
UUID for the collection of segmented objects as well as the header information for each
segment in the collection. When assembled, the collection of segments creates the original
object. See also,
server
Used when specifically referring to hardware. Might also refer to a virtual machine.
