StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array
snapshot functionality.
See also source volume and target
volume.
virtual server
A virtual machine in a cluster
environment defined in a domain by a
network IP name and address. Its
address is cached by the cluster software
and mapped to the cluster node that is
currently running the virtual server
resources. This way all requests for a
particular virtual server are cached by a
specific cluster node.
volume mountpoint (Windows specific
term)
An empty directory on a volume that
can be used to mount another volume.
The volume mount point acts as a
gateway to the target volume. Provided
that the volume is mounted, users and
applications can refer to the data on the
mounted volume by the full (merged)
filesystem path as if both volumes are
one integral part.
Volume Shadow Copy Service

Service.
VSS
See Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy
Service.
VSS compliant mode (HP
StorageWorks Disk Array XP VSS
provider specific term)
One of two XP VSS hardware provider
operation modes. When the XP provider
is in the VSS compliant mode, the
source volume (P-VOL) and its replica
(S-VOL) are in simplex, unpaired state
after a backup. Therefore the number of
replicas (S-VOLs per a P-VOL) rotated
is not limited. Restore from a backup in
such a configuration is possible only by
switching of the disks. See also resync
mode, source volume, P-VOL, replica,
S-VOL, and replica set rotation.
Wake ONLAN
Remote power-up support for systems
running in power-save mode from some
other system on the same LAN.
wildcard character
A keyboard character that can be used to
represent one or many characters. The
asterisk (*), for example, typically
represents one or more characters, and
the question mark (?) typically
represents a single character. Wildcard
characters are often used in operating
systems as a means of specifying more
than one file by name.
Windows Registry
A centralized database used by
Windows to store configuration
information for the operating system
and the installed applications.
