serial electrically erasable programmable ROM See SEEPROM. Service Location Protocol See SLP. SES SCSI Enclosure Services. The protocol that allows the initiator to communicate with the enclosure using SCSI commands. SFCB Small Footprint CIM Broker. SFF Small form factor. A type of disk drive. SHA Secure Hash Algorithm. A cryptographic hash function. SLP Service Location Protocol. Enables computers and other devices to find services in a local area network without prior configuration. Small Footprint CIM Broker See SFCB. small form factor See SFF. SMART Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. A monitoring system for disk drives that monitors reliability indicators for the purpose of anticipating disk failures and reporting those potential failures. 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. Snapshots that can be mapped to hosts are counted against the snapshot-license limit, whereas transient and unmappable snapshots are not. SNIA Storage Networking Industry Association. An association regarding storage networking technology and applications. sparse snapshot A type of point-in-time copy that preserves the state of data at an instant in time by storing only those blocks that are different from an already existing full copy of the data. 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. See also DRM. SSD Solid-state drive. SSH Secure Shell. A network protocol for secure data communication. SSL Secure Sockets Layer. A cryptographic protocol that provides security over the internet. Storage Controller See SC. Storage Management See SMI-S. Initiative - Specification Storage Management See SMU. Utility Glossary 79
