Definition
Uses World Wide Names to communicate over SAN, LAN, or WAN (via FC/IP conversion)
Term
Source data for SAN Copy
Definition
1) SnapView Snapshot (full copies only) or Clone
2) TimeFinder BCV
3) Idle production LUN
Term
Benefits of SAN Copy
Definition
1) Enable better business decision (Content Distribution)
2) Stop costly data errors (Disaster Recovery)
3) Reduce operational costs (Data migration)
Term
SAN Copy - Number of active, bi-directional sessions
Definition
16 simultaneous, bi-directional active sessions allowed
Term
SAN Copy - Number of destinations one source can have
Definition
100 destinations (systems)
Term
SAN Copy - Scalable and Flexible
Definition
1) Dynamically pause / resume copy sessions
2) Raise or lower priority settings for copy process
3) up to 16 simultaneous, bi-directional SAN Copy sessions. Queues 300 jobs. One source can have 100 destinations.
Term
FLARE functions
Definition
1) advanced RAID algorithms
2) disk scrubbing
3) LUN expansion
Term
SAN Copy manager from within
Definition
CLARiiON's Navisphere Manager and Navisphere CLI
Term
CLARiiON Navisphere Management Suite
Definition
1) Navisphere Manager, CLI/Agent, Analyzer
2) Access Logix, SnapView, MirrorView, SAN Copy
3) FLARE intelligent operating environment
4) hardware: FC4500, FC4700, CX200, 400,600
Term
ISC
Definition
Incremental SAN Copy. Transfers only changed chunks, from source to destination. uses SnapView Snapshot to keep track of where those changes are.

1) Primary host writes to Source LUN 2) COFW invoked if needed 3) Ack from local storage system 4) Trigger event 5) Chunks copied from local to remote storage system 6) Ack from remote storage system

Term
Availability of LUNs
Definition
Source LUN is always available to host. Target LUN is only of use to attached host once transfer is complete. Then it will be consistent, restartable, but previous point-in-time copy of Source LUN
Term
MirrorView/S
Definition
Synchronous, Bi-directional. Storage-based software that resides on CLARiiON. Online, host independent, mirrorated data storage and protection that duplicates data to one or two secondary sites in campus environment. Doesn't use host CPU cycles.
Term
Synchronous Mirroring
Definition
Every time host writes to the primary array, the secondary array mirrors the write before an ack is returned to the host.
1) I/O write received from host into write cache of primary array
2) I/O is transmitted to the write cache of secondary array
3) Acknowledgement is sent by secondary array back to primary
4) Write Acknowledgement is presented to host
Single connection is supported. SPs use CMI protocol over link when communicating. Connected SPs must be the same designation: SP-A to SP-A and SP-B to SP-B.
Term
MirrorView/A
Definition
Incremental Remote Mirroring bwtn 2 CLARiiON systems. Management via EMC Navisphere. Concurrent information access when used with SnapView. Does not require same RAID. Secondary LUN is inaccessible. Distance independent. Replication over IP. Asynchronous. Integrated with SnapView, SAN Copy, and MirrorView. Managed via Navisphere Management.
Term
Secondary LUN
Definition
Must be same size as Primary LUN. Does not need to be same RAID type as Primary. Not accesible to host(s). [Mirror must be removed or secondary promoted to primary for host to have access.] Bi-directional.
Term
MirrorView Software
Definition
Must be installed on both arrays, even if you don't want bi-directional
Term
Protection of Mirrored Data
Definition
1) I/O write received from host into write cache of primary array
2) If secondary array is not reachable, mirror marked as fractured
3) Acknowledgement is sent by primary array back to production host
Term
MirrorView Switch attached Connectivity
Definition
FC/IP router > 60 km
DWDM = 200 km
Optical extender = 40 km
Longwave GBIC = 10 km
Shortwave GBIC = 500 m
Term
MirrorView Direct Attached Connectivity
Definition
CLAR to CLAR = 300/500 m
Optical extender = 10 km
Term
DWDM
Definition
Dense Wave Division Multiplexor. Optical technology used to increase bandwidth over existing fiber optic backbones.
Term
MirrorView Primary
Definition
R1. CLARiiON that serves mirrored primary data to production host
Term
MirrorView Secondary
Definition
CLARiiON that contains mirrored secondary copy of primary data
Term
MirrorView Mirror Synchronization
Definition
Copy data from primary LUN to secondary LUN. May use fracture log / write intent log to avoid full data copy.
Term
MirrorView Mirror Fracture
Definition
Condition when secondary is unreachable by primary. Can be invoked by admin command.
Term
MirrorView/A relies on SnapView for
Definition
Tracking changes made to primary image
Term
MirrorView Remote Mirror Data States:
out of sync
In sync
Consistent
Synchronizing
Rolling back
Definition
Out of sync = full sync needed
In sync = primary LUN and secondary LUN contain identical data
Consistent = write intent log or fracture log may be needed
Synchronizing = mirror sync operation in progress
Rolling back = secondary MirrorView/A image is rolling back
Term
MirrorView Remote Mirror Heartbeat
Definition
Messages are used to determine when secondary is reachable. Heartbeat is only used after secondary is determined unreachable.
Term
MirrorView Remote Mirror States:
Inactive
Active
Attention
Definition
Inactive = admin control to stop mirror processing
Active = I/O allowed (normal state)
Attention = admin action required
Term
Synchronous MirrorView Fracture Log
Definition
Lives in memory. Captures pending writes to remote system when communications link is down. Minimizes time to get back to fully synchronous state with secondary system.
Term
Synchronous MirrorView Optional Write Intent Log
Definition
Minimizes recovery time in event of failure of primary system. Only pending writes are sent to remote site. Written to each time a write request happens on particular mirror.
Term
MirrorView Remote Mirroring Consolidation
Definition
1 CLARiiON can be target for 4 other systems. Used to consolidate or "fan-in" info on 1 remote CLARiiON.
Term
MirrorView switched relationships
Definition
1 CLARiiON can be both source and target. Up to 4 relationships per CLAR. Enables bi-directional remote mirroring.
Term
MirrorView Concurrent Mirroring
Definition
1 source mirrored to 2 target systems. 1 remote mirror for disaster recovery / bzness continuity. 1 remote mirror for parallel processing via SnapView.
Term
