cluster

A system of connecting multiple hosts with the same OS or platform (essentially, an

environment in which the same application can run) and treating them as one system.

D

Dev

A logical division of an LU that HDLM controls and operates. A Dev is equivalent to a

partition in Windows.

In Windows, each LU has only one Dev.

Each Dev has a Dev number.

(See also: Dev number)

Dev number

A Dev number (the DNum column) in the configuration list in HDLM.
0 is displayed as the number indicating the entire LU.

HDLM operates assuming that one LU has one Dev, so the Dev number is always fixed

to 0.

(See also: Dev)

dynamic reconfiguration

Dynamic reconfiguration enables HDLM to recognize devices whose configuration has

been changed without restarting the host. The plug-and-play operation of Windows

enables this functionality.

E

emulation type

An LU type that is accessible from a host. Since an HDLM host is an open-system host

such as a PC or a UNIX computer, the HDLM host can access only the LUs that have

open-system emulation types.

For details on emulation types supported by a storage system, see the maintenance

manual for that particular storage system.

F

failback

A function for placing the status of a path recovered from an error into the Online

status, and then switching the access path to the path that was just recovered.

failover

A function for switching to another normal path if there is an error in the current access

path, thereby enabling the system to continue to operate.
