A
automatic failback
A function for checking the status of paths at regular intervals, and automatically
placing the status of a path recovered from an error into the Online status.
If a path with an
Offline(E)
or
Online(E)
status recovers from an error, an
automatic failback will place the path
Online
.
Automatic failbacks check the status of paths that were placed in the
Offline(E)
or
Online(E)
status because of an error, but do not check the status of paths that were
placed in the
Offline(C)
status by executing an offline operation. For details on
offline operations, see 6.4 offline (Places Paths Offline) .
AutoPATH_ID
An ID that HDLM assigns to a path during the system startup. Every path has a unique
AutoPATH_ID.

CLPR(Cache Logical Partition)
A function supported by the Hitachi USP, Universal Storage Platform V/VM, Virtual
Storage Platform, and Hitachi AMS2000/AMS/WMS/SMS series for logically
splitting up a cache. This function can split up a cache into parity groups in the storage
system, so that other parity groups do not affect the cache performance.
cluster
A system of connecting multiple hosts with the same OS or platform (essentially, an
environment in which the same application can run) and treating them as one system.
