failover
Disconnecting a failed unit or path and replacing it with an alternative unit or
path in order to continue functioning.
FC
Fibre Channel.
FC-AL
Fibre Channel arbitrated loop.
FCP
Fibre Channel Protocol.
fence level
A level for selecting rejection of a write I/O request from the host according to
the condition of mirroring consistency.
FICON
IBM mainframe Fiber Optic Connection.
GB
Gigabytes.
GLM
Gigabyte link module.
HA
High availability.
HBA
Host bus adapter. A built-in function or a card installed in a PC or other host
computer to enable connection of the host to the SAN.
host mode
Each port can be configured for a particular host type. These modes are
represented as two-digit hexadecimal numbers. For example, host mode 08
represents an HP-UX host.
hot standby
Using two or more servers as a standby in case of a primary server failure.
HP
Hewlett-Packard Development Company.
I/O
Input/output (applies to an operation or device).
LAN
Local area network.
LD, LDEV
Logical device. An LDEV is created when a RAID group is carved into pieces
according to the selected host emulation mode (that is, OPEN-3, OPEN-8,
OPEN-9). The number of resulting LDEVs depends on the selected emulation
mode. The term LDEV is often used synonymously with the term volume.
LED
Light emitting diode.
local disk
A disk in the host.
LU
Logical unit.
LUN
Logical unit number. A LUN results from mapping a SCSI logical unit number,
port ID, and LDEV ID to a RAID group. The size of the LUN is determined by the
emulation mode of the LDEV, and the number of LDEVs associated with the LUN.
For example, a LUN associated with two OPEN-3 LDEVs has a size of 4,693
MB.
LUSE
Logical unit size expansion. See also
Expanded LUN
.
m
Meters.
MB
Megabytes.
MCU
Main control unit.
