4 Storage management overview

This chapter provides an overview of some of the components that make up the storage structure of
the storage system.

Storage management elements

Storage is divided into four major divisions:

•

Physical storage elements

•

Logical storage elements

•

File system elements

•

File sharing elements

Each of these elements is composed of the previous level's elements.

Storage management example

Figure 18

depicts many of the storage elements that one would find on a storage device. The following

sections provide an overview of the storage elements.
