MIX
A circuit board in the disk control unit that includes disk
adapters and channel adapters for interfacing disk drives and
the host to cache memory.
mirroring consis-
tency
The consistency (usability) of data in a volume (for example,
S-VOL).
mm
Millimeters.
MR
Magnetoresistive.
ms, msec
Milliseconds.
mutual hot
standby system
Two servers that are poised to cover for each other if necessary.
NAS
Network attached storage.
node
Logically speaking, an environment where instances can be
executed. Physically, a processor, which is an element of a
cluster system.
NVS
Nonvolatile storage.
OFC
Open Fibre Control.
OLM
Optical link module.
OS
Operating system.
PA
Physical address.
parity group
A parity group is a disk con
guration in which multiple disks
work together to provide redundancy. Synonymous with “array
group.”
partition
Dividing a speci
c physical disk into two or more areas as if
there are two or more physical disks.
path
Paths are created by associating a port, a target, and a LUN
ID with one or more LDEVs.
PCI
Power control interface or peripheral component interconnect.
port
A physical connection that allows data to pass between a
host and the disk array. The number of ports on an XP disk
array depends on the number of supported I/O slots and the
number of ports available per I/O adapter. The XP family of
disk arrays supports Fibre Channel (FC) ports as well as other
port types. Ports are named by port group and port letter, such
as CL1-A. CL1 is the group, and A is the port letter.
