Glossary
host
An external port that the storage system is attached to. The external port may be a port in
an I/O adapter in a server, or a port in a network switch. Product interfaces use the terms
host and initiator interchangeably.
host port
A port on a controller module that interfaces to a host computer, either directly or through a
network switch.
host bus adapter
See
HBA.
image ID
A globally unique serial number that identifies the point-in-time image source for a volume.
All volumes that have identical image IDs have identical data content, whether they be
snapshots or stand-alone volumes.
initiator
See
host.
I/O Manager
A MIB-specific term for a controller module.
I/O module
See
IOM.
intrinsic methods
Methods inherited from CIM and present in all classes such as getclass, createinstance,
enumerateinstances, and associatorNames in SMI-S.
IOM
Input/output module. An IOM can be either a controller module or an expansion module.
IQN
iSCSI Qualified Name.
iSCSI
Internet SCSI interface protocol.
iSNS
Internet Storage Name Service.
JBOD
“Just a bunch of disks.”
See
drive enclosure.
jumbo frame
In an iSCSI network, a frame that can contain 9000 bytes for large data transfers. A normal
frame can contain 1500 bytes.
large form factor
See
LFF.
LBA
Logical Block Address. The address used for specifying the location of a block of data.
leftover
The state of a disk that the system has excluded from a vdisk because the timestamp in the
disk’s metadata is older than the timestamp of other disks in the vdisk, or because the disk
was not detected during a rescan. A leftover disk cannot be used in another vdisk until the
disk’s metadata is cleared; for information and cautions about doing so, see documentation
topics about clearing disk metadata.
LFF
Large form factor. A type of disk drive.
LIP
Loop Initialization Primitive. An FC primitive used to determine the loop ID for a controller.
lock key
A system-generated value that manages the encryption and decryption of data on
FDE-capable disks.
See also
FDE and passphrase.
logical block address
See
LBA.
Logical Unit Number
See
LUN.
loop
See
FC-AL.
Loop Initialization
Primitive
See
LIP.
LUN
Logical Unit Number. A number that identifies a mapped volume to a host.
MAC address
Media Access Control Address. A unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for
communication on a network.
Management
Controller
See
MC.
Management
Information Base
See
MIB.
map/mapping
Settings that specify whether a volume is presented as a storage device to a host, and how
the host can access the volume. Mapping settings include an access type (read-write,
read-only, or no access), controller host ports through which initiators may access the
volume, and a LUN that identifies the volume to the host.

default mapping, explicit
mapping, and masking.
