S
server In this document, a server refers to either an application server or a storage server.
service goal Service goals are contained within a service request. Each service goal consists of a goal type
(such as, a volume service), a set of constraints (for example, size, RAID type, tag values), and
a set of configurations (including LUN masking, and host OS mode).
service group A service group is a grouping mechanism within SPM which enables permissions and tag
properties be applied to each of the volume services within the service group without having to
specify the properties on each service individually.
service request A service request is the set of goals sent to SPM which describes the type and amount of storage
preferred. It is typically initiated by the server administrator.
small computer
systems interface SCSI is a standard, intelligent parallel interface for attaching peripheral arrays to computers,
based on an array independent protocol.
storage catalog The repository of service requests, services, service groups, and resources managed by SPM.
Storage
Management
Initiative
Specification SMI-S delivers open storage network management interface technology in order to have "all
storage managed by the SMI interface" as the unifying factor between all objects that must be
managed in a storage area network and the tools used to manage them.
storage service SPM defines a storage service as space in the catalog that is available to fulfill a goal, or is
already fulfilling a goal.
storage solution SPM composes a storage solution to satisfy a set of storage requirements. The storage solution
consists of a process that may be executed to fulfill the storage requirements in the customers
environment. Steps include storage provisioning and storage presentation sequenced with host
configuration and data service configuration actions.
storage system An entity that provides storage capacity to a server. Types of storage systems include disk arrays,
NAS appliance (storage server), and DAS. Capabilities of storage systems vary by type and are
commonly extended through licensable data services.
system A system refers to a storage system or an application server.
V
volume A partition or logical disk that may contain a file system or database or be used by a volume
manager or hypervisor to present higher order volumes. Volumes are backed by capacity that
has been carved from lower level capacity, meaning that the source of the capacity has been
identified. In SPM a volume is a type of service.
volume service A type of service supported by SPM. It consists of a service providing a block based volume
abstraction. All services are provided by resources. A volume service is provided by an array.
W
world wide name WWN, a unique 8–byte address used in a Fibre Channel storage network to identify each array
and initiator. SPM uses the format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx to display these values.
