Quickloop Fabric Assist User Guide
Hardware Translative Mode
A method for achieving address translation. The following two hardware translative modes
are available to a QuickLoop enabled switch:
■
Standard Translative Mode: Allows public devices to communicate with private
devices that are directly connected to the fabric.
■
QuickLoop Mode: Allows initiator devices to communicate with private or public
devices that are not in the same loop.
HBA
Host Bus Adapter; the interface card between a server or workstation bus and the Fibre
Channel network.
Hub
A Fibre Channel wiring concentrator that collapses a loop topology into a physical star
topology. Nodes are automatically added to the loop when active and removed when
inactive.
Idle
Continuous transmission of an ordered set over a Fibre Channel link when no data is being
transmitted, to keep the link active and maintain bit, byte, and word synchronization.
IN_ID
Initial Identifier. The field in the CT_HDR where the port ID of the client originator of a
Fibre Channel Services request.
Initiator
A server or workstation on a Fibre Channel network that initiates communications with
storage devices. See also
Target
.
Integrated Fabric
The fabric created by a Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel SAN Switch IS/32 or IS/64,
or SAN Switches 16-EL/8-EL switches cabled together and configured to handle traffic as
a seamless group.
IOD
In-order Delivery; a parameter that, when set, guarantees that frames are either delivered in
order or dropped.
IPA
Initial Process Associator. An identifier associated with a process at an N_Port.
ISL
Interswitch Link; a Fibre Channel link from the E_Port of one switch to the E_Port of
another. See also
E_Port
,
Cascade
