Glossary
bidirectional
failover
A Matrix recovery management feature that allows Recovery Group Sets to be activated or
deactivated at either the Local Site or the Remote Site. At any point in time there can be activated
and deactivated Recovery Group Sets at both sites. In the event of a disaster, or to accommodate
site maintenance, all of the Recovery Group Sets in the Matrix recovery management configuration
can be deactivated at one site, and activated at the other site.
CMS HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) Central Management Server—A system in the management
domain that executes the HP SIM software. All central operations within HP SIM are initiated
from this system.
consistency group Consistency groups are an important property of asynchronous mode volumes. A consistency
group is a group of LUNs that need to be treated the same from the perspective of data consistency
(I/O ordering). A consistency group is equal to a device group in the Raid Manager configuration
file.
cross-technology
logical servers
Logical servers that can be moved back and forth between being VC hosted (hosted by a physical
server) or VM hosted (hosted by a virtual machine). See VC hosted logical server and VM hosted
logical server for more information.
CSV Cluster shared volumes.
discovery A feature within a management application that finds and identifies network objects. In HP
management applications, discovery finds and identifies all the HP systems within a specified
network range.
DR Group (Disaster Recovery Group) The HP P6000 Continuous Access Software term for a Storage
Replication Group.
DR Protected Logical servers and Matrix infrastructure orchestration services that are managed by Matrix
recovery management are referred to as DR Protected (disaster recovery protected) logical servers
and IO services.
HP Matrix OE
logical server

A component of the HP Matrix Operating Environment software that manages and automates
operations associated with logical servers, including resource provisioning, startup, and shutdown.
HP SIM HP Systems Insight Manager

A logical server that is associated with IO services.
Job An automated, multistep process associated with:
• A Matrix recovery management Activate or Deactivate operation.
• A Matrix recovery management Site import operation.
• A Matrix recovery management Recovery Group import operation.
Local Site In a Matrix recovery management configuration, this is the set of managed nodes and
corresponding CMS that your browser is interacting with.
logical server A logical server is a management abstraction that simplifies and optimizes the provisioning,
management, and movement of a server, whether it is a physical server or a virtual machine. A
logical server is the complete software image of a server, including operating system, applications,
configuration data, and metadata that you create and assign to operate on a physical server or
virtual machine. Logical servers are managed by HP Matrix OE visualization.
Maintenance Mode Maintenance Mode is used to test Recovery Groups to ensure they will function properly when
an Activate operation is performed. Maintenance mode temporarily stops Matrix recovery
management from managing a DR Protected logical server or IO service. One use of maintenance
mode is to perform failover rehearsal. By setting Maintenance Mode on a Recovery Group, all
of the logical servers and Matrix infrastructure orchestration services in that Recovery Group can
be activated through the Matrix Operating Environment. Once you are satisfied with the failover
