• LFF drive – Large form factor drive. An HDD containing platters that are approximately 3.5 inches
(88.9 millimeters) wide. LFF SSDs are designed to fit in the same space as LFF HDDs.
• LOM – LAN on motherboard
• Management group – One or more storage pools that have a common management configuration.
• SSD – Solid-state drive.
• SFF drive – Small form factor drive. An HDD containing platters that are approximately 2.5 inches
(63.5 millimeters) wide. SFF SSDs are designed to fit in the same space as SFF HDDs.
• Storage controller – The canister containing the storage computer with independent I/O paths to the
storage network.
• Storage pool – An aggregation of storage resources from one or more storage systems from which
volumes can be provisioned. For example, one storage pool might contain one array enclosure
connected to three drive enclosures. Another storage pool might contain two array enclosures.
• Storage system – The hardware that consists of the array enclosure with one or more storage
controllers and all the SAS-connected drive enclosures.
Component identification
The following figures identify the controllers, connectors, and indicators on the array enclosure and the
drive enclosure.
