RAID See Redundant Array of Independent Disks.
RAID 0 Data is striped across the available disks providing improved performance. RAID 0 does not
provide any data redundancy.
RAID 10 Data is striped across available disk drives and mirrored, providing data availability and
improved performance. Maintains a minimum of one full copy of all data on the volume. RAID
10 provides optimum Read / Write performance, increased probability of withstanding
multiple failures, and the quickest restoration of data.
RAID 5 Maintains a logical copy of the data using a mathematically derived rotating parity stripe.
The parity stripe is derived from the data stripes. This method has less overhead for the
redundant information than RAID 10 however write performance is slower than RAID 10 due
to the calculation of the parity stripe for every write. Read performance is similar to RAID 10.
RAID 50 RAID level 50 is a combination of RAID level 5 and RAID level 0. RAID 50 includes both parity
and disk striping across multiple drives.
recovery volume A volume created for the purpose of recovering data. In Dell EqualLogic PS Series arrays, a
recovery volume is created by promoting an inbound replica set as part of a failover

Compellent Storage Center, a view volume is created from a replay. See replica, View
Volume, Replay.
Redundancy The duplication of information or hardware equipment components to ensure that if a
primary resource fails, a secondary resource can take over its function. Dell Compellent
Storage Center provides redundancy for each component so that there is no single point of
12
failure. Single Redundancy protects against loss of data if any one resource fails. Dual
Redundancy protects against data lost if any two resources fail.

SNMP See Simple Network Management Protocol.
SNMP Trap Collector In the context of Dell AIM, the Controller Services virtual IP address that managed switches
and other devices use to send SNMP traps to the active Controller.
Software Development
Kit (SDK)
A set of development tools used to create applications for a specific software package,
software framework, hardware platform, computer system, video game console, operating
system, or similar platform.
Space Recovery A utility that recovers space that Windows reports as being used but is actually empty,
available space that can be used by Dell Compellent Storage Center.
spare disk A designated or unused drive in a SAN that is used automatically to replace a failed drive.
Storage Area Network
(SAN)
A storage area network (SAN) is a specialized network that provides access to high
performance and highly available storage subsystems using block storage protocols. The
SAN is made up of specific devices, such as host bus adapters (HBAs) in the host servers,
switches that help route storage traffic, and disk storage subsystems. The main
characteristic of a SAN is that the storage subsystems are generally available to multiple
hosts at the same time, which makes them scalable and flexible. Compare with NAS.
Storage Cluster In Dell Compellent Storage Center, multiple SAN controllers that are interconnected for the
purpose of improving reliability, availability, serviceability and performance (via load
balancing). Storage Center uses an active-active configuration to provide automatic
controller failover. A fully mirrored, battery-backed cache in each controller ensures data
reliability over a restart and allows volumes to migrate between controllers in the event of a
single controller failure.
Storage Clustering A Dell Compellent Storage Center feature that provides automatic controller failover through
multiple controllers in an active-active configuration. Fully mirrored, battery backup cache
provides fault tolerance and automatic restart/recovery in the event of a controller failure.
Storage Pool See pool.
Storage Profile In Dell Compellent Storage Center, a set of rules that define the drive types (tiers) on which
to store data and the RAID level to use for each tier.
Storage Type In Dell Compellent Storage Center, a set of attributes, including redundancy options and
block size, that control how space from a storage pool is allocated and protected.
striping Disk striping writes data across three or more disks in an array, but only uses a portion of the
space on each disk. The amount of space used by the "stripe" is the same on each disk
used. A virtual disk may use several stripes on the same set of disks in an array. See also
mirroring, and RAID.
symmetric
multiprocessing (SMP)
Used to describe a system that has two or more processors connected via a high-bandwidth
link and managed by an operating system, where each processor has equal access to I/O
devices.
synch See Synchronous Replication.
15
Synchronous
Replication
Feature that atomically writes the same data to two separate volumes, stored on different
physical hardware, before the application receives an I/O complete message. Both writes
either complete or fail, so both volumes are fully synchronized at all times. However, the
feature can increase write latency for the application. See synch.
System Control
Network (SCN)
A private network that Dell AIM uses for communication between the Controller, personas,
and VMRacks. The Controller also uses this network to discover servers and to boot
personas and VMRacks on them.
System Setup program A BIOS-based program that allows configuration of a system's hardware and customization
of the system's operation by setting features such as password protection. Because the
System Setup program is stored in NVRAM, any settings remain in effect until changed.
Systems Deployment
Appliance
A Dell KACE appliance-based deployment management solution for IT professionals that
provides tools for disk imaging, user state migration, remote site management, system repair
and recovery, as well as computer inventory scanning and assessment. Additionally, it
automates pre-and post-deployment configuration tasks such as computer inventory
scanning and assessment; it also automates disk, BIOS, and RAID configuration, software
distribution, and configuration management.
Systems Management
Appliance
A Dell KACE appliance-based systems management solution for IT professionals that
streamlines tasks such as inventory management, software distribution, reporting, patch
management, asset management, scripting, and service desk support through a web-based
interface.
template In the context of Dell AIM, a dormant persona that you can clone to create other personas,
but which you can't run (to prevent changes to the template).
template volume Read-only volume from which you create thin clones.
thin clone Volume that shares space with a template volume. Thin clones provide an efficient use of
storage space for configurations with multiple volumes that have a large amount of common
data.
Thin Provisioning Feature that lets you over-provision (or over-subscribe) the space available in the SAN.
Storage objects (such as volumes) that use thin provisioning report their potential maximum
size to applications, but may actually use much less space. Thin provisioning allows
organizations to reduce their overall storage expenditures, increase availability and achieve
greater performance.
tiered storage Storage optimization strategy in which data required quickly and often is stored on
expensive, fast media types, and data required rarely is stored on less expensive, slower
media types.
unmanaged space In Dell EqualLogic PS Series arrays, delegated space capacity on the secondary group that
is no longer accessible from the primary group.
uplink port A port on a network hub or switch used to connect to other hubs or switches without
requiring a crossover cable.
vacate In Dell EqualLogic Group Manager, to remove a member from a group while the member
remains online.
View Volume In Dell Compellent Storage Center, a read-only volume that has been created from a previous
replay, for the primary purpose of recovering data. See Replay.
16
Virtual Port or Virtual
Port Mode
In the context of Dell Compellent Storage Center, Virtual Ports eliminate the need for reserve
ports. When operating in Virtual Port mode, all front-end ports accept I/O and can be part of
one Fault Domain. For information on enabling Virtual Ports, refer to the Dell Compellent
Storage Center System Setup Guide.
virtual World Wide Port
Name (vWWPM)
A virtual World Wide Port Name used in Dell AIM for creating SAN-booted personas.
Virtualization The ability to use software to share the resources of a single computer or storage device
across multiple environments. A single physical system or device may appear to the user as
multiple virtual systems able to host multiple operating systems.
VMRack A rack of virtual machines (VMs) on a server that is running a combination of agent software
and Red Hat Xen, VMware ESX, or Microsoft Hyper-V.
volume A discrete unit of storage striped to a storage device or devices.
volume collection A number of volumes grouped together for purposes of performing operations on the
volumes simultaneously. See snapshot collection, replica collection.
volume reserve Amount of space allocated to a volume from free pool space. Without thin provisioning,
volume reserve is the same as reported size.
Volume Type In the context of Dell Compellent Storage Center, Volume Type: can be dynamic, Replay
enabled, or Replication. A volume is dynamic until at least one Replay has been taken of that
volume. Once a Replay has been taken of a volume, it becomes Replay Enabled. A
Replication volume is one that is being Replicated to another Dell Compellent Storage Center
system.
vRack In the context of Dell AIM, a logical group of hosts connected to a virtual switch (vRack
switch).
vRack switch In the context of Dell AIM, a virtual switch that connects hosts in a vRack.
vWWPN See virtual World Wide Port Name.
