SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N Installation Guide
domain ID
Unique identifier for all switches in a fabric, used in routing frames. Usually
automatically assigned by the principal switch, but can be assigned manually. The
domain ID for an HP switch can be any integer between 1 and 239. Generally, the
default domain ID is 1.
E
E_D_TOV
Error detect time-out value. The minimum amount of time a target waits for a
sequence to complete before initiating recovery. Can also be defined as the
maximum time allowed for a round-trip transmission before an error condition is
declared.
E_Port
Expansion port. A type of switch port that can be connected to an E_Port on
another switch to create an ISL.
EE_Credit
End-to-end credit. The number of receive buffers allocated by a recipient port to
an originating port. Used by Class 1 and 2 services to manage the exchange of
frames across the fabric between source and destination.
EIA rack
A storage rack that meets the standards set by the Electronics Industry
Association.
enabled zone configuration
The currently enabled configuration of zones. Only one configuration can be
enabled at a time.
end-to-end flow control
Governs flow of class 1 and 2 frames between N_Ports.
error
As applies to fibre channel, a missing or corrupted frame, time-out, loss of
synchronization, or loss of signal (link errors).
exchange
The highest level fibre channel mechanism used for communication between
N_Ports. Composed of one or more related sequences, and can work in either one
or both directions.
