Glossary

This section defines the terms used to describe the ASM user interface and program features.

Actions pane

The right pane in the main window of the ASM user interface that provides a

list of actions, based on your current selection in the Content pane. Along with

other selectable items, the Actions pane provides access to storage-allocation

wizards, which help you allocate and configure storage.

Advanced window A window accessed by clicking the Advanced button in any of the

storage-allocation wizards or the Allocate Space Wizard. When accessed

from any of the storage-allocation wizards, the Advanced window allows you

to change the size of the allocated space and the default (recommended)

advanced configuration settings. When accessed from the Allocate Space

Wizard, the Advanced window allows you to change the size of the allocated

space, percent full warning threshold, and enforced allocated limit (shared

folders only).

allocated space

Storage space that is being used by, or reserved for, application or shared

folder storage.

application server

A server computer in a computer network dedicated to running certain software

applications whose job is to provide network access to software client/server

applications and, sometimes, the data that belongs to applications as well.

array

Also known as a JBOD (just a bunch of disks). A group of hard drives in an

enclosure (chassis) that are controlled by an array controller.

array controller

Controls reads and writes to the hard drives in an array.

backups

A read-only copy of data copied to media, such as hard drives or magnetic

tape, for data protection.

A full backup copies all the data selected to be backed up. An incremental

backup copies only data selected to be backed up that has changed since the

last full backup.

Backups provide data protection in the event of system or hard drive failure,

because the data is stored on media separate from the system hard drives.

backup applica-

tion

An application used to create, manage, and monitor backups.

CIFS

Common Internet file system. The protocol used in Windows environments for

shared folders.

Content pane

The center pane in the main window of the ASM user interface that displays

storage utilization, and the storage status of application components and shared

folders.

data migration

The process of moving data from one storage device to another, such as moving

application data from an application server to your HP All-in-One Storage

System. ASM supports automatic data migration for Exchange and SQL Server

data.

data protection

Protects data from being corrupted or lost as a result of hard drive failure.

Methods used to provide data protection include RAID and backups.
