TERMINOLOGY
t
Datastore: A file system, either VMFS or NFS, that serves as a virtual representation of an underlying pool of
physical storage resources. These physical storage resources can be comprised of SCSI disks from a local server,
Fibre Channel SAN disk arrays, iSCSI SAN disk arrays, or NAS storage arrays.
Fibre Channel SAN disk arrays, iSCSI SAN disk arrays, or NAS storage arrays.
t
Internet SCSI (iSCSI): A protocol for sending SCSI packets over TCP/IP networks.
t
iSCSI LUN: iSCSI LUN (Logical Unit Number) is a virtual disk that processes SCSI commands, such as reading
from and writing to storage media.
t
Network File System (NFS): A distributed file system providing transparent access to remote file systems. NFS
allows all network systems to share a single copy of a directory.
t
Raw Device Mapping (RDM): RDM includes a combination of a pointer, which is a .vmdk file that resides on a
VMFS volume, and a physical raw device that the .vmdk file points to. RDM can either be physical compatibility
mode or virtual compatibility mode.
mode or virtual compatibility mode.
t
Virtual Machine: A virtualized x86 PC on which a guest operating system and an associated application run. A VM is
also a set of discrete files that primarily include a .vmx configuration file and one or more .vmdk virtual disk files.
t
Virtual Machine File System (VMFS): A VMware proprietary file system installed onto data stores and used by ESX
Server to house virtual machines.
