BC P9000 or XP Business Copy. An HP application that provides volume-level, point-in-time copies
in the disk array.
CLPR Cache logical partition.
Cnt Ac-J P9000 or XP Continuous Access Journal software.
Cnt Ac-J Z The version of Continuous Access Journal that supports mainframe volumes.
Cnt Ac-S P9000 or XP Continuous Access Synchronous software.
Cnt Ac-S Z The version of Continuous Access Synchronous that supports mainframe volumes.
CU Control Unit. Used to organize the storage space attached to the disk controller ( DKC). You can
group similarly configured logical devices (LDEVs) with unique control unit images (CUs). CUs
are numbered sequentially. The disk array supports a certain number of CUs, depending on the
disk array model. Each CU can manage multiple LDEVs; therefore, both the CU number and the
LDEV number are required to identify an LDEV.
DKC Disk controller.
DKU Disk Unit.
emulation mode The LDEVs associated with each RAID group are assigned an emulation mode that makes them
operate like OPEN system disk drives. The emulation mode determines the size of an LDEV or
volume.
OPEN-V: User-defined custom size
3390-3/3R: 2.838 GB
3390-9: 8.514 GB
3390-L: 27.844 GB
3390-M: 55.689 GB
3380-3 2.377 GB
HDD Hard disk drive.
LDKC Logical disk controller.
local disk A disk in the local array. Sometimes refers to a disk in a local host.
LUN Logical unit number. A LUN results from mapping a logical unit number, port ID, and LDEV ID to
a RAID group. The size of the LUN is determined by the emulation mode of the LDEV and the
number of LDEVs associated with the LUN.
parity group A set of hard disk drives that have the same capacity and that are treated as one group. A parity
group contains both user data and parity information, which enables user data to be accessed
if one or more drives in the group is not available.
PCB Printed circuit board.
remote instance The instance with which the local instance communicates, as configured in the HORCM_INST
section of the RAID Manager instance configuration file.
Remote Web A browser-based program installed on the SVP that allows you to configure and manage the disk
Console array.
synchronous Describes computing models that perform tasks in chronological order without interruption. In
synchronous replication, the source waits for data to be copied at the destination before
acknowledging that it has been written at the source.
V-VOL Virtual Volume.
VOL, vol Volume.
volume Volume on disk. An accessible storage area on disk, either physical or virtual.
XDF Extended distance feature (for ExSA channels).
