Snapshot
A point in time copy of a defined collection of data. Clones
and snapshots are full copies. Depending on the system,
snapshots may be of files, LUNs, file systems, or any other
type of container supported by the system.
Snapshot copy
A copy of a snapshot LUN.
Source LUN
The LUN where the original data is located.
Storage pool shrinking
A method of shrinking the total storage pool capacity.
Storage system
An integrated system that consists of the following parts:
controller, storage array, host bus adapter, physical
connection between storage units, and all control software.
Storage unit
An abstract definition of backup storage media for storing
backup data. The storage unit is connected to the actual
storage media used to back up data.
Streaming media
Streaming media is media continuously streamed over the
network. Combining technologies concerning streaming
media data collection, compression, encoding, storage,
transmission, playback, and network communications,
streaming media can provide high-quality playback effects
in real time at low bandwidth.
Subnet
A type of smaller network that forms a larger network
according to a rule, such as, forming a network according to
different districts. This facilitates the management of a large
network.
T
Target
The endpoint that receives a SCSI I/O command sequence.
Target LUN
The LUN on which target data resides.
Thin LUN
A logic disk that can be accessed by hosts. It dynamically
allocates storage resources from the thin pool according to
the actual capacity requirements of users.
Timing snapshot
Creates virtual snapshots periodically to continuously
protect data.
Topology
The logical layout of the components of a computer system
or network and their interconnections. Topology deals with
questions of what components are directly connected to
other components from the standpoint of being able to
communicate. It does not deal with questions of physical
location of components or interconnecting cables. The
communication infrastructure that provides Fibre Channel
communication among a set of PN_Ports (e.g., a Fabric, an
Arbitrated Loop, or a combination of the two).
