H
Host Integration
Tools for Linux (HIT
for Linux)
A suite of tools that integrate Linux systems with PS Series storage arrays. It includes the Remote Setup
Wizard Command Line Interface (RSWCLI), the EqualLogic Host Performance and Conguration Tuning
Suite (eqltune), and EqualLogic Log Gathering Facility (eqllog).
Host Integration
Tools for VMware
(HIT/VMware)
A suite of tools that integrate ESX systems with PS Series storage arrays. It includes Virtual Storage
Manager (VSM), Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) for VMware Site Replication Manager, and the Dell
EqualLogic Multipathing Extension Module (MEM).
Host Integration
Tools for Windows
(HIT/Microsoft)
A suite of applications that enable you to congure and manage an array. It includes ASM/ME, DSM
(Multipath I/O Device Specic Module), and RSW (Remote Setup Wizard).
L
local replication
reserve
(Group Manager) Storage space on a primary group that is used to record changes to a volume when
replication is congured and, optionally, to store a failback snapshot for a volume.
LUN Logical Unit Number — A logical reference to a portion of a storage subsystem.
M
management IP
address
In a group with a management network congured and enabled, an address used exclusively to log in to the
Group Manager GUI or CLI.
management
network
An optional management network that separates iSCSI trac (volume I/O) from management trac (GUI
and CLI sessions, and other group management communications and intergroup operations).
Manual Transfer
Utility (MTU)
A standalone utility from EqualLogic that performs volume replication using transportable media instead of
the network. The utility has both graphical and command-line user interfaces.
member An individual PS Series array or FS Series NAS controller congured into a PS Series group. A PS Series
array NAS cluster appears in the group hierarchy as a member.
multipath I/O
(MPIO)
Multiple connections from an iSCSI initiator to targets on a PS Series group over the network to provide
redundancy and enhance performance.
N
NAS antivirus
(Group Manager) Allocates scanning operations to antivirus servers to maximize the available scanning
bandwidth.
NAS appliance (Group Manager) A hardware enclosure that contains two NAS controllers. When congured as part of a PS
Series group, each appliance becomes an individual FluidFS member of the group. Appliances, when
congured as part of a group, become a NAS cluster. See NAS controller and NAS cluster.
NAS cluster (Group Manager) Hardware NAS appliances congured as part of a PS Series group. See NAS appliance.
NAS cluster IP
address
(Network-attached storage) Highly available IP address that clients use to access SMB shares and NFS
exports hosted by a NAS cluster.
NAS container (Group Manager) An abstraction layer represented by a bounded, named subset of the NAS reserve space
in which you create SMB shares and exports to make storage space available to users.
