HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager User Guide (T3680-96089, October 2012)

J
job A repeatable custom script that automates replication tasks. A job can be simple (for example,
create a DR group) or complex (for example, perform cascaded replication). Jobs can be run
from the GUI, from the command line, from batch files, or by a scheduler.
M
managed set A selection of resources grouped together for convenient management. For example, you can
create a managed set to manage all DR groups whose sources reside in the same rack.
management
server
A server on which HP P6000 Enterprise Virtual Array management software is installed, such as
HP P6000 Command View and HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager.
merge The act of transferring the contents of the write history log contents to the destination virtual disk
to synchronize the source and destination.
mirrorclone A copy of a virtual disk that is continually updated to reflect changes in the source. When first
created (and whenever re-synchronized by an action or command), the content of a mirrorclone
is synchronized to the source virtual disk.
N
near-online
storage
The on-site storage of data on media that takes only slightly longer to access than online storage
kept on high-speed disk drives.
normalization The background process of copying the contents of a source virtual disk to a snapclone. The
snapclone is dependent on the source until normalization is complete. Also called unsharing.
O
online storage An allotment of storage space that is available for immediate use, such as a peripheral device
that is turned on and connected to a server.
P
presentation The array controller action that makes a virtual disk accessible to a host computer.
R
remote copy A copy of a virtual disk on the destination array.
resource An object that is listed in the Replication Solutions Manager navigation pane. Data replication
groups, enabled hosts, host volumes, managed sets, storage systems, and virtual disks are
resources. Replication is performed using these resources.
RPO Recovery point objective. The maximum age of the data you want the ability to restore in the
event of a disaster. For example, if your RPO is six hours, you want to be able to restore systems
back to the state they were in as of no longer than six hours ago. To achieve this objective, you
need to make backups or other data copies at least every six hours.
RSM Replication Solutions Manager.
RTO Recovery time objective. The time needed to recover from a disaster—usually determined by how
long you can afford to be without your systems.
RWP Replication Workload Profiler
S
SAN Storage area network. A network of storage devices available to one or more servers.
server-based
management
Management from a server. See also management server.
SFP Small form-factor pluggable transceiver.
SMI-S Storage Management Initiative Specification.
