| ZVF |
ZStack Virtualization Framework, consisting of ZStack ZSphere and ZCenter Management Platform |
| Unified Deployment |
The way ZCenter is deployed by uploading the installation package through ZCenter Service in ZSphere “Platform Services → Service List”, with no separate environment required |
| Passwordless redirect |
After ZSphere is connected to ZCenter, users with the same username and authentication source on both sides can go one-way from ZCenter into the native ZSphere console without a password |
| Same authentication source |
The accounts on both sides come from the same authentication system (both local, or both from the same third-party identity source); one of the matching prerequisites for passwordless redirect |
| Management node |
A virtualization environment managed by ZCenter, of type VMware or ZStack ZSphere |
| Data center |
The region/site division of resources |
| Type |
The management node type (VMware / ZStack ZSphere), used for list display and filtering |
| License pool / license server |
The shared quota pool holding the total quota |
| ZSphere Enterprise |
The Enterprise Edition of the virtualization platform; the only environment type that can join the license pool in this version |
| Local License |
The environment uses its own license and does not consume the shared pool |
| Shared License |
The environment consumes quota from the shared pool (that is, it has joined the license pool) |
| Quota |
The licensing unit of measure, in CPU Sockets |
| Disconnected |
The environment has lost contact with the license server, and its occupied quota is frozen |
| Overcommitted / over quota |
The environment’s usage exceeds its licensed quota |
| Alarm synchronization |
The synchronization task for underlying monitoring alarms |
| AccessKey (AK/SK) |
Access credentials for integrating with other platforms or online API debugging |
