1.2. Red Hat Storage Console Resources

The Red Hat Storage Console platform manages the following resources within the management infrastructure to create a powerful, scalable storage environment.
  • Servers - A server is a physical server (a physical machine) that runs Red Hat Storage 2.0. Servers are grouped into storage clusters. Red Hat Storage volumes are created on these clusters. The system and all its components are managed through a centralized management system.
  • Clusters - A cluster is a group of linked computers, working together closely thus in many respects forming a single computer. Servers in a cluster share the same network infrastructure and the same storage.
  • User - Red Hat Storage supports multiple levels of administrators and users with distinct levels of permissions. System administrators can manage and administrate objects of the physical infrastructure, such as clusters, servers, and volume.
  • Events and Monitors - Alerts, warnings, and other notices about activities within the system help the administrator to monitor the performance and running of various resources.
