The terms defined here are used throughout the document. In most cases, they are explained in greater context and detail along with the broader concepts involved. The cluster states and resource types are described in the next section. Refer back to this section for reference as needed.
Export: the process of making a resource inactive on a particular controller
Failback: the process of moving from AKCS_OWNER state to AKCS_CLUSTERED, in which all foreign resources (those assigned to the peer) are exported, then imported by the peer
Import: the process of making a resource active on a particular controller
Peer: the other appliance in a cluster
Rejoin: to retrieve and resynchronize the resource map from the peer
Resource: a physical or virtual object present, and possibly active, on one or both controllers
Takeover: the process of moving from AKCS_CLUSTERED or AKCS_STRIPPED state to AKCS_OWNER, in which all resources are imported
