Glossary AL-PA array group CHA command device CU CVS emulation modes failover FC FCA FC-AL FCP HBA Arbitrated loop physical address. A group of 4 or 8 physical hard disk drives (HDDs) installed in an XP disk array and assigned a common RAID level. RAID1 array groups consist of 4 (2D+2D) or 8 HDDs (4D+4D). RAID5 array groups include a parity disk but also consist of 4 (3D+1P) or 8 HDDs (7D+1P). All RAID6 array groups are made up of 8 HDDs (6D+2P). Channel Adapter: Front end PCBs in XP arrays responsible for communication to other devices, typically Hosts, though they are also involved in data exchange with external storage. A volume on the disk array that accepts XP Continuous Access Software or XP Business Copy Software control operations which are then executed by the disk array. Control Unit. Contains LDEVs and is approximately equivalent to SCSI Target ID. Custom volume size. CVS devices (OPEN-x CVS) are custom volumes configured using array management software to be smaller than normal fixed-size OPEN system volumes. Synonymous with volume size customization (VSC). OPEN-V is a CVS-based volume. The logical devices (LDEVs) associated with each RAID group are assigned an emulation mode that makes them operate like OPEN system disk drives. The emulation mode determines the size of an LDEV: OPEN-3: 2.46 GB OPEN-8: 7.38 GB OPEN-9: 7.42 GB OPEN-E: 13.56 GB OPEN-L: 36 GB OPEN-V: User-defined custom size Using an alternate unit or path instead of a failed unit or path in order to continue functioning.
