VIOM (ServerView Virtual-IO Manager)
The name of both the I/O virtualization technology used to change the MAC addresses of NICs and the software that performs the
virtualization.
Changes to values of WWNs and MAC addresses can be performed by creating a logical definition of a server, called a server profile,
and assigning it to a server.
Virtual Edition
The edition that can use the server switchover function.
Virtual I/O
Technology that virtualizes the relationship of servers and I/O devices (mainly storage and network) thereby simplifying the allocation
of and modifications to I/O resources to servers, and server maintenance.
For Resource Orchestrator it is used to indicate HBA address rename and ServerView Virtual-IO Manager (VIOM).
virtual server
A virtual server that is operated on a VM host using a virtual machine.
virtual storage resource
This refers to a resource that can dynamically create a disk resource.
An example being RAID groups or logical storage that is managed by server virtualization software (such as VMware datastores).
In Resource Orchestrator, disk resources can be dynamically created from ETERNUS RAID groups, NetApp aggregates, and logical
storage managed by server virtualization software.
virtual switch
A function provided by server virtualization software to manage networks of VM guests as virtual LAN switches.
The relationships between the virtual NICs of VM guests and the NICs of the physical servers used to operate VM hosts can be managed
using operations similar to those of the wiring of normal LAN switches.
A function provided by server virtualization software in order to manage L-Server (VM) networks as virtual LAN switches.
Management of relationships between virtual L-Server NICs, and physical server NICs operating on VM hosts, can be performed using
an operation similar to the connection of a normal LAN switch.
VLAN (Virtual LAN)
A splitting function, which enables the creation of virtual LANs (seen as differing logically by software) by grouping ports on a LAN
switch.
Using a Virtual LAN, network configuration can be performed freely without the need for modification of the physical network
configuration.
VLAN ID
A number (between 1 and 4,095) used to identify VLANs.
Null values are reserved for priority tagged frames, and 4,096 (FFF in hexadecimal) is reserved for mounting.
VM (Virtual Machine)
A virtual computer that operates on a VM host.
VM guest
A virtual server that operates on a VM host, or an OS that is operated on a virtual machine.
