virtual disk

For Phoenix storage systems, a set of disk drives that share a RAID 
level and disk type, and across which host data is spread for 
redundancy or performance.

volume

A logical subdivision of a virtual disk. Multiple LUNs can be assigned 
to the same volume, one for each host port given access to the volume. 
See also 

standard volume

volume mapping

The process by which volume permissions (read only, read/write, or 
none) and LUNs are assigned to a host port.

world wide name

(WWN)

A unique 64-bit number assigned by a recognized naming authority 
(often via block assignment to a manufacturer) that identifies a node 
process or node port. (SNIA) 

Phoenix storage systems derive WWNs from the serial numbers of 
controller modules and expansion modules.

world wide node

name (WWNN)

A globally unique 64-bit identifier assigned to each Fibre Channel node 
process. (SNIA)

world wide port name

(WWPN)

A globally unique 64-bit identifier assigned to each Fibre Channel port. 
(SNIA)

write policy

A cache-writing strategy used to control write operations. The write 
policy options are CIFS write-back and write-through cache.

write-back cache

A caching technique in which the completion of a write request is 
signaled as soon as the data is in cache, and actual writing to non-
volatile media occurs at a later time. Write-back cache includes an 
inherent risk that an application will take some action predicated on the 
write completion signal, and a system failure before the data is written 
to non-volatile media will cause media contents to be inconsistent with 
that subsequent action. For this reason, good write-back cache
