HP Surestore FC Switch 6164 Installation and Reference Guide

QuickLoop

Can indicate either the software product that allows private devices within

loops to communicate over the fabric with other devices, or the set of actual

devices or looplets connected in a loop by the QuickLoop technology. All

devices in a QuickLoop share a single AL_PA space and behave as if they

are in one loop.

R_A_TOV

Resource Allocation Time-out Value. Maximum time a frame can be delayed

in the fabric and still be delivered. See also E_D_TOV.

RAID

Redundant Array of Independent Disks. Collection of disk drives that appear

as a single volume to the server, and are fault-tolerant through mirroring or

parity checking. See also JBOD.

Remote Switch

A switch that is not directly attached to the originating switch. The

connection may contain intervening switches.

Request Rate

The rate at which requests arrive at a servicing entity. See also

Service Rate

Remote Switch

Software product that enables two switches to connect over an ATM

connection. Requires compatible fibre channel-to-ATM gateways. Can be up

to 10 kilometers distance between each switch and respective gateway.

Route

As applies to fabric, a communication path between two switches.Routing

is the assignment of Class 2 or 3 frames to the most appropriate switch ports

for the intended destinations. See also FSPF.

RR_TOV

Resource Recovery Timeout Value. The minimum time a target device in a

private loop must wait after a LIP before logging out a SCSI initiator. See

also

E_D_TOV

R_A_TOV

RSCN

Registered State Change Notification. Switch function that sends notification

of fabric changes from the switch to specified nodes.

SAN

Storage Area Network. Network of systems and storage devices that usually

communicate using fibre channel protocols. See also Fabric.

Sequence

A fibre channel structure containing one or more frames transmitted in a

unidirectional manner between N_Ports. See also Exchange, Frame.

Service Rate

The rate at which an entity can service requests. See also

Request Rate

Sequence Initiative.
