secondary (remote) SAN, so that data can be recovered from either SAN if necessary.
The
SANs can be an unlimited distance apart.
replication partner
In Dell EqualLogic Group Manager, a group that is configured to send or receive replicas
from another partner.
RSW
See Remote Setup Wizard.
runnable persona
In the context of Dell AIM, a network-booted persona that is started and is waiting to be
assigned to a host.
SAN
See Storage Area Network.
SAN HeadQuarters
Enables you to monitor multiple Dell EqualLogic PS Series groups from a single graphical
interface.
It gathers and formats performance data and other important group information.
SCN
See System Control Network.
SCN Services
The Controller Services virtual IP address that personas and VMRacks in the Dell AIM
environment use to communicate with the active Controller.
SCSI
See Small Computer System Interface.
SDK
See Software Development Kit.
secondary control
module
Within the Dell EqualLogic Group Manager environment, the secondary control module
mirrors cache data from the active control module.
If the active control module ceases to
function, the secondary takes over network operations.
See active control module.
secondary group
In a Dell EqualLogic Group Manager replication configuration, the group that receives
replicas of a source volume. See primary group.
Server Cluster
A group of independent servers working together as a single system to provide uninterrupted
service in the event of individual computer failures.
service tag
A label on the system used to identify it when you call Dell for technical support.

Defines a message format and forwarding procedure to enable messages to be sent
between hosts on the Internet.
Simple Network
Management Protocol
(SNMP)
A standard interface that allows a network manager to remotely monitor and manage
workstations.
Simulator
A component of the Dell AIM SDK that emulates a running Dell AIM environment, including
the Controller, the Console, and physical and virtual networks. See SDK.
Small Computer System
Interface (SCSI)
Small computer system interface.
An I/O bus interface with faster data transmission rates
that standard ports.
SMART
Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology.
Allows hard drives to report errors and
failures to the system BIOS and then display an error message on the screen.
Smart Copy
An ASM/ME point-in-time, application-consistent copy of objects in a Dell EqualLogic PS
Series group.
