source (R1) device

(EMC Symmetrix specific term) An EMC Symmetrix device that
participates in SRDF operations with a target (R2) device. All
writes to this device are mirrored to a target (R2) device in a
remote EMC Symmetrix unit. An R1 device must be assigned to
an RDF1 group type.

split mirror
creation

(EMC Symmetrix and HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP specific
term)
A replica creation technique, in which a pre-configured
set of target volumes (a mirror) is kept synchronized with a set
of source volumes until the time at which a replica of the contents
of the source volumes is required. Then, the synchronization is
stopped (the mirror is split) and a split mirror replica of the
source volumes at the time of the split remains in the target
volumes.
