HP EVA Storage Replication Adapter Software for VMware vCenter SRM Administrator Guide

Protected Site The datacenter containing the protected virtual machines from which data is
being replicated to the recovery site.
protection group A collection of virtual machines and templates. When you create a protection
group, it initially contains only those virtual machines that store all of their files
on one of the datastore groups associated with the protection group.
RAID Redundant array of independent disks.
RDM Raw Device Mapping allows a special file in a VMFS volume to act as a proxy
for a raw device. The mapping file contains metadata used to manage and
redirect disk accesses to the physical device
recovery plan A collection of protection groups. A recovery plan specifies how the virtual
machines in the protection groups are recovered.
Recovery Site The datacenter containing the virtual machines that will be recovered and perform
work while the protected site is unavailable.
reprotect Allows you to protect recovered virtual machines after a failover back to the
original protected site, including reversing the direction of replication.
snapshot A generic term meaning a static point-in-time copy of a volume, typically used
for backup.

sync Synchronous replication.
vdisk See virtual disk.
virtual disk HP P6000 storage systems use a form of virtualization called virtual disks, or
vdisks, to store data. Host computers see virtual disks as real storage objects,
exactly they would see physical disks with the same characteristics.
Also a VMware term for a virtual hard disk created from a datastore that can
be used by a virtual machine.
WWN A World Wide Name (WWN) or World Wide Identifier (WWID) is a unique
identifier for a particular Fibre Channel, Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA)
or Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) target. Each WWN is an 8–byte number derived
from an IEEE OUI and vendor-supplied information.
zone See zoning.
zoning Fibre Channel zoning is the partitioning of a Fibre Channel fabric into smaller
subsets to restrict interference, add security, and to simplify management.
