Glossary public device A loop device that can transmit a fabric login command (FLOGI) to a switch, receive acknowledgement from the switch's login server, register with the switch's name server, and communicate with fabric-attached devices. Public devices communicate with fabric-attached devices through the switch's bridge port (B_Port) connection to a Director or Switch. Contrast with private device. public loop A public loop is connected to a switched fabric (through the switch bridge port (B_Port)), and the switch has an active embedded fabric loop port (FL_Port) that is user transparent. All devices attached to the loop can communicate with each other, and public devices attached to the loop can communicate with fabric-attached devices. Contrast with private loop. pull-down menu See drop-down menu. RAID See redundant array of independent disks. RAM See random access memory. random access memory RAM. A group of computer memory locations that is numerically identified to allow high-speed access by the controlling microprocessor. A memory location is randomly accessed by referring to its numerical identifier (D). Contrast with redundancy. See also dynamic random access memory; nonvolatile random access memory; static random access memory. R_A_TOV See resource allocation time-out value. redundancy Performance characteristic of a system or product whose integral components are backed up by identical components to which operations will automatically failover in the event of a component failure. Redundancy is a vital characteristic of virtually all high-availability (24 hours/7 days per week) computer systems and networks. redundant array of independent disks RAID. Grouping of hard drives in a single system to provide greater performance and data integrity. RAID systems have features that ensure data stored on the drives are safe and quickly retrievable. embedded web server user guide Glossary-31
