  2. Virtual Storage Access Method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_storage_access_method

    While backwards compatibility was maintained, the older access methods suffered from performance problems due to the address translation required for virtual storage. The KSDS organization was designed to replace ISAM, the Indexed Sequential Access Method. Changes in disk technology had meant that searching for data in ISAM data sets had become ...

  3. VSAN - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSAN

    A virtual storage area network (virtual SAN, VSAN or vSAN) is a logical representation of a physical storage area network (SAN). A VSAN abstracts the storage-related operations from the physical storage layer, and provides shared storage access to the applications and virtual machines by combining the servers' local storage over a network into a single or multiple storage pools.

In June 1980, IBM announced MVS/System Product (MVS/SP) as a replacement for MVS/SE.

  5. Storage area network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_area_network

    A storage area network (SAN) or storage network is a computer network which provides access to consolidated, block-level data storage. SANs are primarily used to access data storage devices, such as disk arrays and tape libraries from servers so that the devices appear to the operating system as direct-attached storage .

  6. MVS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MVS

    MVS/XA, or Multiple Virtual Storage/Extended Architecture, was a version of MVS that supported the 370-XA architecture, which had a new I/O architecture and also expanded addresses from 24 bits to 31 bits, providing a 2 gigabyte addressable memory area. [9]

  7. Fibre Channel zoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre_Channel_zoning

    WWN zoning (also called name zoning) restricts access by a device's WWN. As the WWN is on the host, the port the host is connected to can be moved and access is still preserved. Connecting a new device into a port previously used by a WWN zone device will not convey any access to the previous device's resources.

    Virtual Disk - a unit of storage presented to the host. The release 6 GUI refers to a VDisk as a Volume. Managed Disk (MDisk) - a unit of storage (a LUN) from a real, external disk array, virtualized by the SVC. An MDisk is the base to create an image mode VDisk.

  9. Access method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_method

    An access method is a function of a mainframe operating system that enables access to data on disk, tape or other external devices. Access methods were present in several mainframe operating systems since the late 1950s, under a variety of names; the name access method was introduced in 1963 in the IBM OS/360 operating system.
