RHEV terminology
Table: RHEV terminology used in this document
Term | Definition |
---|---|
KVM | Kernel-based Virtual Machine. |
KVMGuest | VCS agent for managing virtual machines in a KVM or RHEV environment. |
VM | Virtual machine created in a KVM or RHEV environment. |
Host | The physical host on which the virtual machine is created or running. |
PM | The physical machine running VCS. |
PM-PM | VCS-supported configuration in which a cluster is formed between hosts, and which is mainly used to manage VM guests running inside them. |
RHEV | Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization. |
RHEV-M | Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager is a centralized management web interface for managing the RHEV environment. |
RHEL-H | Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) host that runs a complete version of RHEL, and is managed by RHEV-M. |
RHEV-H | Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization - Hypervisor is a minimal installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which supports the creation and operaiton of virtual machines. |
VDSM | Virtual Desktop Server Manager. The VDSM service is used by RHEV-M to manage the RHEV-H and RHEL hosts. |
REST API | Representational state transfer (REST) API. |
Datacenter | A datacenter is a logical entity in a RHEV-M that defines the set of physical and logical resources used in a managed virtual environment such as clusters of hosts, virtual machines, storage and networks. |
Cluster | This is a cluster in RHEV-M. A cluster is a collection of physical hosts that share the same storage domains and have the same type of CPU. |
Storage Domain | This is the storage infrastructure in RHEV for creating and running virtual machines. |
Data Domain | A type of storage domain that holds the disk image of all the virtual machines running in the system, operating system images, and data disks. |
ISO Domain | This domain stores ISO files (or logical CDs) used to install and boot operating systems and applications for the virtual machines. |
