Configuration Guide
tape
A storage device supporting sequential access to variable sized data
records.
target
(1) A SCSI device that performs an operation requested by an initiator.
(2) Designates the target identification (ID) number of the device.
target ID
number
The address a bus initiator uses to connect with a bus target. Each bus
target is assigned a unique target address.
this controller
The controller that is serving your current CLI session through a local
or remote terminal. See also other controller.
tape inline
exerciser
(TILX) The controller diagnostic software to test the data transfer
capabilities of tape drives in a way that simulates a high level of user
activity.
topology
An interconnection scheme that allows multiple Fibre Channel ports to
communicate with each other. For example, point-to-point, Arbitrated
Loop, and switched fabric are all Fibre Channel topologies.
transfer data
rate
The speed at which data may be exchanged with the central processor,
expressed in thousands of bytes per second (kbytes).
transparent
failover
Keeps the storage array available to the hosts by allowing the surviving
controller of a dual redundant pair to take over total control of the
subsystem and is transparent (invisible) to the hosts.
ULP
ULP process
Upper Layer Protocol.
A function executing within a Fibre Channel node which conforms to
the Upper Layer Protocol (ULP) requirements when interacting with
other ULP processes.
Ultra SCSI
A Fast-20 SCSI bus. See also Wide Ultra SCSI.
unit
A container made accessible to a host. A unit may be created from a
single disk drive or tape drive. A unit may also be created from a more
complex container such as a RAIDset. The controller supports a
maximum of eight units on each target. See also target and target ID
number.
unwritten
cached
data
Sometimes called unflushed data. See dirty data.
