Unique LUN ID A general term for a LUN identifier, which might specifically be a physical disk's WWID, a

WWID assigned to a SAN virtual LUN, the uniq_name assigned to a LUN for which a WWID

could not be obtained, or some other type of identifier unique to a LUN.

Veritas A set of products from Symantec that include VxVM and VxFS.

VINSTALL The install kernel for V-class PA-RISC systems.

VINSTALLFS The associated file system for the VINSTALL kernel.

vmunix The default kernel filename, used during normal system operation. vmunix is built by the

mk_kernelcommand, which Ignite calls during system installation. The AUTO file typically

contains the entry “boot vmunix”, which references /stand/vmunix on the selected boot

device.

volume 1. A pool of data storage made up of one or more physical disks. These volumes are created

and managed using tools from one of the volume managers, VxVM or LVM. See volume manager.

2. A tape, especially when ANSI labeled.

volume group An arbitrary grouping of disks for use by LVM. See volume manager.

volume manager A subsystem for managing disk space that allows one or more disks to be combined. It can

provide increased size, improved reliability via data and path redundancy, greater configuration

flexibility, and other features for managing file system space.

VxFS A Veritas product from Symantec that is a file system implementation.

VxVM A specific volume manager type that is a Veritas product from Symantec.

[W|V|I]INSTALL Refers to the WINSTALL, VINSTALL, IINSTALL, or INSTALL install kernel depending on your

system.

[W|V|I]INSTALLFS Refers to the WINSTALLFS, VINSTALLFS, IINSTALLFS, or INSTALLFS file system depending on

your system.

whole disk A volume management selection that treats the entire disk as one volume. This selection does not

use a volume manager product. For bootable disks, it is a practical selection only for Itanium-based

systems.

WINSTALL The install kernel for 64-bit PA-RISC systems.

WINSTALLFS The associated file system for the WINSTALL kernel.

XNTP Stands in part for network time protocol. The xntpd daemon maintains system time in agreement

with Internet standard time servers. This can be configured from the itool System tab under Network

Services->XNTP.
