SBB
System building block. A modular carrier plus the individual mechanical and
electromechanical interface required to mount it into a standard shelf. Any
device conforming to shelf mechanical and electrical standards is considered an
SBB.
SCSI
Small Computer System Interface. This interface defines the physical and
electrical parameters of a parallel I/O bus used to connect computers and
a maximum of seven SBBs. The StorageWorks™ modular storage system
implementation uses SCSI–2, which permits the synchronous transfer of 8-bit
data at rates of up to 10 MB/s.
stripesets
In a RAID configuration, a virtual disk drive with its physical data spread across
multiple physical disks. Stripeset configurations do not include a data recovery
mechanism.
warm-swap
A method of device replacement whereby the complete system remains online
during device removal or insertion. The system bus may be halted for a brief
period of time, during device insertion or removal. No booting or loading of code
is permitted except on the device being inserted.
See also cold-swap and hot-swap.
