SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N Installation Guide
RAID
Redundant Array Of Independent Disks. A collection of disk drives that appear as
a single volume to the server and are fault tolerant through mirroring or parity
checking.
request rate
The rate at which requests arrive at a servicing entity.
route
As applies to a fabric, the communication path between two switches. May also
apply to the specific path taken by an individual frame, from source to destination.
routing
The assignment of frames to specific switch ports, according to frame destination.
RR_TOV
Resource recovery time-out value. The minimum time a target device in a loop
waits after a LIP before logging out a SCSI initiator.
RSCN
Registered state change notification. A switch function that allows notification of
fabric changes to be sent from the switch to specified nodes.
S
SAN
Storage Area Network. A network of systems and storage devices that
communicate using fibre channel protocols.
SDRAM
The main memory for the switch.
sequence
A group of related frames transmitted in the same direction between two N_Ports.
service rate
The rate at which an entity can service requests.
single mode
The fiber optic cabling standard that corresponds to distances of up to 10 km
between devices.
