Cards

Term
Element
Definition
Number of blocks written to single disk in RAID group before moving to the next disk. Default size is 64K. Size is configured on per LUN Basis; Size is set up when the LUN is created.
Term
Sector
Definition
1.5% of space
520 Bytes:
512 bytes of user data
8 bytes of admin data
Term
Stripe
Definition
Group of sequential elements starting with the first disk in RAID group and ending with the last, including any parity or mirrored elements
Term
Navisphere Analyzer
Definition
Monitors LUNs
Term
Creating RAID Groups
Definition
May include disks from any enclosure. Types may be mixed in an array. Each group has a unique number to identify it. The actual RAID type for a RAID Group is not set until the first LUN is created within the group.
Term
Binding a LUN
Definition
Building LUNs onto RAID Groups. May be up to 128 LUNs in a RAID Group. May be up to 2048 LUNs per CLARiiON Array.
Term
Storage Processor
Definition
Owns the LUN. Manages the RAID protection of the LUN. Manages access to the LUN.
Term
Fixed Bind parameters
Definition
Disk Numbers, RAID type, LUN #, element size
Term
PowerPath
Definition
Used to Trespass a LUN: If SP-A dies, then go to SP-B. Configures Host with multiple paths to LUN. Redirects I/O over surviving path if HBA, cable, or Switch fails. Dynamic load balances across HBA / fabric (not SP).
Term
Storage Group
Definition
Feature of Access Logix. Used to implement LUN Masking. Define the LUNs each host can access. Contains subset of LUNs grouped for access by one or more hosts and inaccessible to other hosts. Without them, all hosts can access all LUNs. Lives in PSM.
Term
Access Logix
Definition
Controls which hosts have access to a storage group
Term
Initiator Registration Records
Definition
Process through which the host accesses the array and provides information
Term
LUN alias
Definition
Number presented to teh host and the FLARE LUN number which is created during binding
Term
Creating Storage Groups
Definition
Use Navisphere Manager. Create 1 SG per server unless clustering. LUNS 1, 2, and 3 can be present in both SG 1 and SG 3 (clustering). ALU is automatically remapped to next HLU #. Has WWN, ALU, and HLU.
Term
Navisphere Agent
Definition
takes WWPN and sees name of server.
Term
Navisphere Manager
Definition
Connects hosts to storage groups. Assigns LUN to SP.
Term
metaLUNs
Definition
Combines LUNs. May be Striped or concatenated. Supported only on CLARiiON CX family w/ Navisphere 6.5+. Should be same size, speed, and RAID group.
Term
LUN Trespassing
Definition
If Storage Processor, Host Bus Adapter, cable or any I/O Path fails, ownership of LUN moves to surviving SP. Possible with PowerPath.
Term
SnapView
Definition
Local Replication for CLARiiON. Logical point-in-time views of production information called snapshots.
Term
Business Continuance Volumes (BCVs)
Definition
Full image copies of production information
Term
MirrorView/S
Definition
maintains synchronous mirroring between 2 + CLARiiON systems. Supported by CX 400+ and FC4700.
Term
MirrorView/A
Definition
Allows incremental updates of a remote secondary image on CLARiiON. Supported by CX 400+ and FC4700.
Term
SAN Copy
Definition
Manages data replication within a single storage system or between systems. Can use LUNs/volumes, snapshots, and Clones/BCVs as sources. Supported by CLAR / Sym.
