CLI

See command line interface.

cluster

A group of disk sectors. The operating system assigns a unique number

to each cluster and then keeps track of files according to which clusters

they use.

cluster capacity

The total amount of disk space in a cluster, excluding the space

required for system overhead and the operating system. Cluster

capacity is the amount of space available for all archive data, including

original file data, metadata, and redundant data.

command control interface (CCI)

Hitachi's Command Control Interface software provides command line

control of Hitachi array and software operations through the use of

commands issued from a system host. Hitachi’s CCI also provides a

scripting function for defining multiple operations.

command devices

Dedicated logical volumes that are used only by management software

such as CCI, to interface with the storage systems. Command devices

are not used by ordinary applications. Command devices can be shared

between several hosts.

command line interface (CLI)

A method of interacting with an operating system or software using a

command line interpreter. With Hitachi’s Storage Navigator Modular

Command Line Interface, CLI is used to interact with and manage

Hitachi storage and replication systems.

concurrency of S-VOL

Occurs when an S-VOL is synchronized by simultaneously updating an

S-VOL with P-VOL data AND data cached in the primary host memory.

Discrepancies in S-VOL data may occur if data is cached in the primary

host memory between two write operations. This data, which is not

available on the P-VOL, is not reflected on to the S-VOL. To ensure

concurrency of the S-VOL, cached data is written onto the P-VOL before

subsequent remote copy operations take place.

concurrent copy

A management solution that creates data dumps, or copies, while other

applications are updating that data. This allows end-user processing to

continue. Concurrent copy allows you to update the data in the files

being copied, however, the copy or dump of the data it secures does

not contain any of the intervening updates.
