disk replacement

delay

The time that elapses between a drive failure and when the controller starts searching for spare

disk space. Drive replacement seldom starts immediately in case the “failure” was a glitch or

temporary condition.

drive blank

See

disk drive blank.

drive enclosure

A unit that holds storage system devices such as disk drives, power supplies, blowers, I/O modules,

transceivers, or EMUs.

drive enclosure

See

drive enclosure.

drive enclosure

event

A significant operational occurrence involving a hardware or software component in the drive

enclosure. The drive enclosure EMU reports these events to the controller for processing.

dual power supply

configuration

See

redundant power configuration.

dual-loop

A configuration where each drive is connected to a pair of controllers through two loops. These

two Fibre Channel loops constitute a loop pair.

dynamic capacity

expansion

A storage system feature that provides the ability to increase the size of an existing virtual disk.

Before using this feature, you must ensure that your operating system supports capacity expansion

of a virtual disk (or LUN).

EIA

Electronic Industries Alliance. A standards organization specializing in the electrical and functional

characteristics of interface equipment.

EIP

Event Information Packet. The event information packet is an HSV element hexadecimal character

display that defines how an event was detected. Also called the EIP type.

electromagnetic

interference

See

EMI.

electrostatic

discharge

See

ESD.

element

In a drive enclosure, a device such as an EMU, power supply, disk, blower, or I/O module.

The object can be controlled, interrogated, or described by the enclosure services process.

In the Open SAN Manager, a controllable object, such as the Enterprise storage system.

EMI

Electromagnetic Interference. The impairment of a signal by an electromagnetic disturbance.

EMU

Environmental Monitoring Unit. An element which monitors the status of an enclosure, including

the power, air temperature, and blower status. The EMU detects problems and displays and

reports these conditions to a user and the controller. In some cases, the EMU implements corrective

action.

enclosure

A unit used to hold various storage system devices such as disk drives, controllers, power supplies,

blowers, an EMU, I/O modules, or blowers.

enclosure address

bus

An Enterprise storage system bus that interconnects and identifies controller enclosures and disk

drive enclosures by their physical location. Enclosures within a reporting group can exchange

environmental data. This bus uses enclosure ID expansion cables to assign enclosure numbers to

each enclosure. Communications over this bus do not involve the Fibre Channel drive enclosure

bus and are, therefore, classified as out-of-band communications.

enclosure number

(En)

One of the vertical rack-mounting positions where the enclosure is located. The positions are

numbered sequentially in decimal numbers starting from the bottom of the cabinet. Each disk

enclosure has its own enclosure number. A controller pair shares an enclosure number. If the

system has an expansion rack, the enclosures in the expansion rack are numbered from 15 to

24, starting at the bottom.

enclosure services

Those services that establish the mechanical environmental, electrical environmental, and external

indicators and controls for the proper operation and maintenance of devices with an enclosure

as described in the

SES SCSI-3 Enclosure Services Command Set (SES), Rev 8b, American National

Standard for Information Services

Enclosure Services
