Host Integration Tools for VMware (HIT/VM) A suite of tools that integrate Linux systems with Dell EqualLogic PS Series storage arrays. It includes the Remote Setup Wizard Command Line Interface (RSWCLI), the EqualLogic Host Performance and Configuration Tuning Suite (eqltune), and EqualLogic Log Gathering Facility (eqllog). Hot Spare Disk In the Dell Compellent Storage Center environment, a Hot Spare disk is a backup disk. In the event that an active array fails, the controller makes the Hot Spare part of the active array and rebuilds data on the fly. Although the Hot Spare becomes an active disk without human intervention, remember to replace the failed drive as soon as possible, so that the array is again protected with a new Hot Spare. Hot spares can span multiple disk enclosures. Storage Center Hot Spares can have a different capacity than the data drive it replaces. hot-plug The ability to insert or install a device, typically a hard drive or an internal cooling fan, into the host system while the system is powered on and running. Also referred to as hot-swap. hot-swap See hot-plug. I/O Input/Output. A keyboard is an input device, and a monitor is an output device. In general, I/ O activity can be differentiated from computational activity.

again protected with a new Hot Spare. Hot spares can span multiple disk enclosures.
Storage Center Hot Spares can have a different capacity than the data drive it replaces.
hot-plug
The ability to insert or install a device, typically a hard drive or an internal cooling fan, into
the host system while the system is powered on and running. Also referred to as hot-swap.

I/O
Input/Output.
A keyboard is an input device, and a monitor is an output device.
In general, I/
O activity can be differentiated from computational activity.
ID

the Dell AIM environment, a unique identifier for an element in the , assigned when it is
added to the environment.
iDRAC

image
Specific to Dell AIM, the actual bits stored on a disk or storage array that a persona or
VMRack boots, along with information the Controller uses to boot that image on a specific
type of host.
You can configure a persona or VMRack with more than one image, for
example, so the same persona can boot on either a physical server or a virtual machine.
infiniBand
infiniBand offers point-to-point bidirectional serial links intended for connection of
processors and high-speed peripherals.

integration Dell Remote
Access Controller
(iDRAC)
A remote access controller that uses the Internet SCSI protocol.
Intelligent Platform
Management Interface
(IPMI)
A protocol implemented by management modules in some servers, which is used to control
the servers remotely.
The blade management modules in the Dell servers implement iPMI.
interconnect switch
A switch in the Dell AIM environment, managed by the Controller, that you use to
interconnect elements such as chassis, vRacks,
other interconnect switches, and external
switches.
internet SCSI (iSCSI)
Internet SCSI (see SCSI).
A protocol that encapsulates standard SCSI commands for
communication between client servers (iSCSI initiators) and network storage devices (iSCSI
targets) on IP networks.
