A container that groups physical disk capacity (abstracted as virtual disks
in the browser interface) into a logical pool of available storage capacity. A
storage pool's characteristics are defined by a storage profile. You can
create multiple storage pools to segregate storage capacity for use in
various types of applications (for example, high throughput and online
transaction-processing applications).
A defined set of storage performance characteristics such as RAID level,
segment size, dedicated hot-spare, and virtualization strategy. You can choose
a predefined profile suitable for the application that is using the storage, or you
can create a custom profile.
An enclosure containing disks. A tray with dual RAID controllers is called a
controller tray; a tray without a controller is called an expansion tray.
The number of blocks in a stripe. A striped array's stripe size is the stripe
depth multiplied by the number of member extents. A parity RAID array's
stripe size is the stripe depth multiplied by one less than the number of
member extents. See also striping.
Short for data striping; also known as RAID Level 0 or RAID 0. A mapping
technique in which fixed-size consecutive ranges of virtual disk data addresses
are mapped to successive array members in a cyclic pattern. (SNIA).
The system component that receives a SCSI I/O command. (SNIA)
See remote scripting CLI
See storage tray.
A set of disk blocks presented to an operating environment as a range of
consecutively numbered logical blocks with disk-like storage and I/O
semantics. The virtual disk is the disk array object that most closely
resembles a physical disk from the operating environment's viewpoint.
A logically contiguous range of storage blocks allocated from a single pool and
presented by a disk array as a logical unit number (LUN). A volume can span
the physical devices that constitute the array, or it can be wholly contained
within a single physical disk, depending on its virtualization strategy, size, and
the internal array configuration. The array controller makes these details
transparent to applications running on the attached server system.
