SMI-S
Storage Management Initiative - Specification. The SNIA standard that enables
interoperable management of storage networks and storage devices.
The interpretation of CIM for storage. It provides a consistent definition and structure of
data, using object-oriented techniques.
SMU
Storage Management Utility. The web application that is embedded in each controller
module and is the primary management interface for the storage system.
snap pool
A volume that stores data that is specific to snapshots of an associated master volume,
including copy-on-write data and data written explicitly to the snapshots. A snap pool
cannot be mapped.
snapshot
A “virtual” volume that preserves the state of a master volume’s data as it existed when the
snapshot was created. Data associated with a snapshot is recorded in both the master
volume and in its associated snap pool. A snapshot can be mapped and written to. The
capability to create snapshots is a licensed feature. A base of 64 snapshots is included with
all 1040 systems without an additional license. Snapshots that can be mapped to hosts are
counted against the snapshot-license limit, whereas transient and unmappable snapshots
are not.

technology and applications.
SRA
Storage Replication Adapter. A host-based software component that allows VMware’s Site
Recovery Manager to manage the storage-system firmware’s disaster recovery management
(DRM) features, automating disaster-recovery failover and failback tasks. The SRA uses the
CLI XML API to control the storage system.

To remove access to a volume from a host OS. Synonyms for this term include unpresent

unwritable cache data
Cache data that has not been written to disk and is associated with a volume that no longer
exists or whose disks are not online. If the data is needed, the volume’s disks must be
brought online. If the data is not needed it can be cleared, in which case it will be lost and
data will differ between the host and disk. Unwritable cache data is also called orphan
data.
