splitter
A bar that separates two panes of a window (such as the object tree and the grid). A splitter can be
used to adjust the sizes of the panes.
status area
An area of the main window that displays an alert icon when an object fails or experiences some other
error.
storage pool - data pool, clone pool
Storage pools are associated with disk groups. Storage pools are defined by templates, capabilities
and policies. Policies governing a storage pool decide whether to grow a storage pool to
accommodate additional storage, and whether to use templates that are not currently associated with
the storage pool.
There are two types of storage pools: data pools and clone pools. Data pools are created first. All
other storage pools that are created within a disk group are clone pools.
subdisk
A set of contiguous disk blocks that form a logical disk segment. Subdisks are associated with plexes
(mirrors) to form volumes.
task properties window
A window that displays detailed information about a task listed in the Task Request Monitor window.
task request monitor
A window that displays a history of tasks performed in the current VERITAS Volume Manager
session. Each task is listed with the task originator, the task status, and the start/ finish times for the
task.
toolbar
A set of buttons used to access VERITAS Volume Manager windows. These include another main
window, a task request monitor, an alert monitor, a search window, and a customize window.
tree

objects of the same type.
uninitialized disks

user templates
User templates are a collection of capabilities, templates and rules defined by the user to simplify
tasks. You can group the capabilities you want the volume to have, and save these capabilities along
with the rules as a user template.
volume

Volume Layout Details Window
A window that displays a graphical view of a volume and its components. The objects displayed in
this window are not automatically updated when the volume properties change.
Volume to Disk Mapping Window
A window that displays a tabular view of volumes and their underlying disks. This window can also
display details such as the subdisks and gaps on each disk.
