Glossary Fabric Configuration Server One or more designated HP switches that store and manage the configuration and security parameters for all other switches in the fabric. These switches are designated by WWN, and the list of designated switches is known fabric-wide. Fabric Manager An HP product that works in conjunction with Web Tools to provide a graphical user interface for managing switch groups (such as the SAN Switch Integrated/32) as a single unit, instead of as separate switches. Fabric Manager is installed on and run from a computer workstation. Fabric Name The unique identifier assigned to a fabric and communicated during login and port discovery. Fabric OS The proprietary operating system on HP StorageWorks switches. Fabric Watch An HP product that runs on Fabric OS and allows monitoring and configuration of fabric and switch elements. Allows the SAN manager to monitor key fabric and switch elements, making it easy to quickly identify and escalate potential problems. It monitors each element for out-of-boundary values or counters and provides notification when defined boundaries are exceeded. The SAN manager can configure which elements, such as error, status, and performance counters, are monitored within an HP switch. See also Fabric Manager. Factory Account A login used during manufacturing to initialize and test a switch and is not intended for customer use. See also account level switches. Failover The act that causes control to pass from one redundant unit to another. In the StorageWorks Core switch one may failover from the currently Active Control Processor (CP) to the Standby CP. FAN Fabric access notification. Retains the AL_PA and fabric address when loop re-initializes (if the switch supports FAN). FC-AL-3 The Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop standard defined by ANSI. Defined on top of the FC-PH standards. 82 Zoning Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide
