non-
participating
mode
A mode within an L_Port that inhibits the port from participating in
loop activities. L_Ports in this mode continue to retransmit received
transmission words but are not permitted to arbitrate or originate
frames. An L_Port in non-participating mode may or may not have an
AL_PA. See also participating mode.
nominal
membership
The desired number of mirrorset members when the mirrorset is fully
populated with active devices. If a member is removed from a
mirrorset, the actual number of members may fall below the “nominal”
membership.
node
In data communications, the point at which one or more functional
units connect transmission lines. In Fibre Channel, a device that has at
least one N_Port or NL_Port.
nonredundant
controller
configuration
(1) A single controller configuration. (2) A controller configuration
that does not include a second controller.
normal member
A mirrorset member that, block-for-block, contains the same data as
other normal members within the mirrorset. Read requests from the
host are always satisfied by normal members.
normalizing
Normalizing is a state in which, block-for-block, data written by the
host to a mirrorset member is consistent with the data on other normal
and normalizing members. The normalizing state exists only after a
mirrorset is initialized. Therefore, no customer data is on the mirrorset.
normalizing
member
A mirrorset member whose contents are the same as all other normal
and normalizing members for data that has been written since the
mirrorset was created or lost cache data was cleared. A normalizing
member is created by a normal member when either all of the normal
members fail or all of the normal members are removed from the
mirrorset. See also copying member.
NVM
Non-Volatile Memory. A type of memory where the contents survive
power loss. Also sometimes referred to as NVMEM.
OCP
Operator control panel. The control or indicator panel associated with a
device. The OCP is usually mounted on the device and is accessible to
the operator.
