Fabric Mode
One of two possible modes for an L_Port, in which the L_Port is connected to
another port that is not loop capable, using fabric protocol.
fabric name
The unique identi
fi
er assigned to a fabric and communicated during login and
port discovery.
fabric port count
The number of ports available for connection by nodes in a fabric.
fabric services
Codes that describe the communication to and from any well-known address.
fabric topology
The arrangement of switches that form a fabric.
Fabric Watch
Optionally licensed HP StorageWorks software. Fabric Watch can be accessed
through either the command line or Advanced Web Tools, and it provides the
ability to set thresholds for monitoring fabric conditions.
failover
A nondisruptive process in the HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64, SAN
Director 2/128, and 4/256 SAN Director during which one CP passes active
status to another CP.
FAN
Fabric address noti
fi
cation. Retains the AL_PA and fabric address when a loop
reinitializes, if the switch supports FAN.
fan-in
The ratio of hosts to storage devices; the view of the SAN from the storage
port’s perspective.
fan-out
The ratio of storage devices to hosts; the view of the SAN from the host port’s
perspective.
F_BSY
Fabric port busy frame. A frame issued by the fabric to indicate that a frame
cannot be delivered because the fabric or destination N_Port is busy.
FC-0
The lowest layer of the Fibre Channel transport. Represents physical media.
FC-1
The layer of the Fibre Channel transport that contains the 8b/10b encoding
scheme.
FC-2
The layer of the Fibre Channel transport that handles framing and protocol,
frame format, sequence/exchange management, and ordered set usage.
FC-3
The layer of the Fibre Channel transport that contains common services used by
multiple N_Ports in a node.
FC-4
The layer of the Fibre Channel transport that handles standards and pro
fi
les for
mapping upper-level protocols such as SCSI and IP onto the Fibre Channel
Protocol.
FC-AL-3
The Fibre Channel arbitrated-loop standard de
fi
ned by ANSI, which is de
fi
ned
on top of the FC-PH standards.
