EqualLogic Terminology
The EqualLogic™ PS series storage array includes storage virtualization
technology. To better understand how these arrays operate, it is helpful to
be familiar with some of the terminology used to describe these arrays and
their functions:
• Member — A single PS series array
•
Group — A set of one or more members that can be centrally managed;
host systems access the data through a single group IP address
•
Pool — A RAID that can consist of the disks from one or more members
•
Volume — A LUN or virtual disk that represents a subset of the capacity
of a pool
