CMC
The remote volume, when it assumes the role of the primary volume in a failover
scenario.
A type of network bonding which, in the event of a NIC failure, causes the logical
interface to use another NIC in the bond until the preferred NIC resumes
operation. At that point, data transfer resumes on the preferred NIC.
A type of network bonding in which the logical interface performs load balancing
of data transmission.
An additional feature purchased separately from the SAN/iQ software.
Snapshot of a volume that is taken while the application that is serving that
volume is quiesced. Because the application is quiesced, the data in the snapshot
is consistent with the application's view of the data. That is, no data was in flight
or cached waiting to be written.
For release 7.0 and earlier, identifies the client or entity accessing the volume.
Not used in release 8.0 and later.
A feature in the CMC that automatically searches for storage systems on the
subnet the CMC is connected to. Any storage systems it discovers appear in the
navigation window on the left side of the CMC.
Interface created for network interface failover and only appears after configuring
for failover.
Combining physical network interfaces into a single logical interface.
Compact flash cards from which the storage system boots up. Also known as
disk-on-modules or DOMs.
Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is a standard authentication
protocol.
The snapshot that has two or more volumes related to it. A clone point is created
when a SmartClone volume is created from a snapshot or from snapshot
temporary space.
Command-line interface for the SAN/iQ software.
A cluster is a grouping of storage systems that create the storage pool from which
you create volumes.
