PLM
The PLM coordinates all requests for the peripherals connected (robot systems, tape
drives). The data management of the PLM contains information about where and on
which physical volume (
PV ) each logical volume ( LV ) is stored.
PLS
The PLS is the link between CentricStor and the robot archive. Requests to the robots,
e.g. to move a tape cartridge in the robot archive, are issued on behalf of the
PLM .
PV
This refers to a real tape cartridge.
PVG
Group of physical volumes for which the same rules apply.
RAID system
A RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) system consists of one or two RAID
controllers and multiple physical hard disks. These are organized as a logical disk drive
which permits a greater storage capacity, greater data security and/or greater
throughput than a single physical disk drive.
The
TVC of a CentricStor system uses one to up to eight RAID systems.
