Medium Access
Control
A unique identifier assigned by the manufacturer to most network interface cards (NICs) or network
adapters. In computer networking, a Media Access Control address. Also known as an Ethernet
Hardware Address (EHA), hardware address, adapter address or physical address.
Multi-initiator NPIV Enables an administrator to predefine pools of SAN storage and then flexibly assign the storage
to different servers over time. Each storage pool entry defines one or more LUNs, their location
on the SAN, and one or more server side initiators which are permitted to access the LUNs. Using
HBA port virtualization, a server is flexibly granted access to one or more storage pool entries.
This approach to storage management ensures that the SAN administrator retains full management
control over all of the SAN resources and provides the Server Administrator the flexibility to
automate the Logical Server storage management tasks.
