CLPR(Cache Logical Partition)
A function supported by the Hitachi USP series, Universal Storage Platform V/VM series,
Virtual Storage Platform series, VSP G1000 series, Hitachi AMS2000/AMS/WMS/SMS
series, HUS100 series, and HUS VM for logically splitting up a cache. This function can
split up a cache into parity groups in the storage system, so that other parity groups do
not affect the cache performance.
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 (Device)
A logical division of an LU that HDLM controls and operates.
A Dev is equivalent to a partition in Linux.
In Linux, each LU can be divided into more than one Dev.
Each Dev has a Dev number.
Depending on the access method, Devs are classified into two types: block devices and
character devices.
(See also: Dev number)
Dev number
A Dev number (the DNum column) in the configuration list in HDLM.
This number is assigned to each Dev within an LU. In Linux, a Dev number is called a
partition number.
The Dev number is set to 0 because HDLM manages Devs in units of LUs.
(See also: Dev)
domain
An environment in which Xen is used to manage OSs.
The domain that has management privileges for Xen is called domain0. The other
domains are called domainU.
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.
