HP StorageWorks 4/16 Brocade SAN Glossary for Fabric OS v6.0.0 - Page 26

SRM Storage Resource Management. The management of disk volumes and any file resources. SSH Secure Shell. Used starting in Fabric OS 4.1 to support encrypted telnet sessions to the switch; encrypts all messages, including the client sending the password at login. SSL Secure Sockets Layer. Standard Translative Mode Allows public devices to communicate with private devices that are directly connected to the fabric. Static route A route assigned to a specific path that does not change when a topology change occurs, unless the path used by the route becomes unavailable. Stealth mode™ A method used in some switches to have them work similar to Brocade switches using QuickLoop. Stitch The code name given to the first-generation Brocade fabric ASIC; used in the Brocade 1000 series of switches. Storage A device used to store data, such as a disk or tape. Store-and-forward A switching technique that requires buffering an entire frame before a routing decision is made. Striping A RAID technique for writing a file to multiple disks on a block-by-block basis, with or without parity. Switch A fabric device providing bandwidth and high-speed routing of data via linklevel addressing. SWL Short Wavelength fiber optic; based on 850-mm lasers supporting 1.0625-Gbit/sec link speeds. T T10 T11 Tachyon Tape Pipelining Target TCP/IP Telnet Tenancy A standards committee chartered with creating standards for SCSI. A standards committee chartered with creating standards for Fibre Channel. A chip developed by Hewlett-Packard, and used in various devices. This chip has FC-0 through FC-2 on one chip. A Fabric OS feature that accelerates the writes to tape devices of FCIP from a host; eliminates the latency associated with the sequential nature of a tape device, thus forcing the host to send multiple outstanding commands and buffering associated data at the remote switch. A disk or a tape device in SCSI. Transmission Control Protocol over Internet Protocol. A virtual terminal emulation used with TCP/IP. Possession of an Arbitrated Loop by a device to conduct a transaction. Brocade SAN Glossary 1/29/2008 Page 26 of 29
