PLM
The PLM coordinates all requests for the peripherals connected (robot systems, tape
drives). The data management of the PLM contains information about where and on
which physical volume (PV) each logical volume (LV) is stored.
PLS
The PLS is the link between CentricStor and the robot archive. Requests to the robots,
e.g. to move a tape cartridge in the robot archive, are issued on behalf of the PLM.
PV
This refers to a real tape cartridge.
PVG
Group of physical volumes for which the same rules apply.
RAID system
A RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) system consists of one or two RAID
controllers and multiple physical hard disks. These are organized as a logical disk drive
which permits a greater storage capacity, greater data security and/or greater
throughput than a single physical disk drive.
