PRELIMINARY
storage processor (SP)
A printed-circuit board with processors, memory modules, and control
logic that manages the I/O between the server and the disk modules.
disk pool A set of disks with the same capacity and RAID type on which you create
one of more virtual disks.
virtual disk A grouping of physical disk partitions into one span of disk storage space.
Each virtual disk you create is distributed equally across the disks in the
disk pool. A virtual disk looks like an individual disk to the server s
operating system.
An SSR212PPf storage system has one SP, so it is called a single-SP system. An
SSR212PP2f storage system has two SPs, so it is called a dual-SP system.
