Source system | The InfiniBox system whose volume is replicated. |
Target system | The InfiniBox system that the volume is replicated to. |
Source dataset | A volume on the source system that is replicated (or planned to be replicated). |
Target dataset | A volume on the target system that is the destination of the replicated data. A target volume that is part of a replica cannot accept host writes. |
Replica | An entity that matches a pair of source and target volumes and other settings essential for the replication. |
Local | The InfiniBox system through which the user manages the replica. |
Remote | The InfiniBox system at the other end of the replica. Both local and remote system may contain source and target datasets. |
Link | A bi-directional means of communication between local and remote systems. The link is defined via Management. |
Sync job | The process of creating a snapshot of the source and delivering it to the target. |
Sync interval | The amount of time between two planned sync jobs. |
| Staging area | The storage space that is reserved to, or used by, snapshots that are in use for the replication process, both on the source and the target InfiniBox systems. |
| RPO | Recovery Point Objective. The amount of data, measured in time units, that is at risk and might be lost in the case of a disaster. |
