HBA port alias A user-defined name for an HBA port.
host The computer system on which the Simple SAN Connection Manager software is running.
IP security IPsec (IP security) is a suite of protocols for securing Internet Protocol (IP) communications by
authenticating and encrypting each IP packet in a data stream. IPsec also includes protocols for
cryptographic key establishment.
IPv4 Internet Protocol version 4 is the fourth iteration of the Internet protocol and the first version of
the protocol to be widely deployed. IPv4 is the dominant network layer protocol on the Internet
and, other than IPv6, it is the only standard internetwork-layer protocol used on the Internet.
IPv6 Internet Protocol version 6 is a network layer for packet-switched internetworks. IPv6 is
designated as the successor of IPv4, the current version of the Internet protocol, for general use
on the Internet. IPv6 provides a much larger address space that allows greater flexibility in
assigning addresses.
ISL Inter-switch link (ISL) is a connection between a port on one switch and a port on another
switch.
LUN Logical unit number, a subdivision of a SCSI target. A LUN is the small integer handle that
differentiates an individual disk drive or partition (volume) within a common SCSI target device
such as a disk array.
Technically, a LUN can be a single physical disk drive, multiple physical disk drives, or a
portion (volume) of a single physical disk drive. However, LUNs are typically not entire disk
drives but rather virtual partitions (volumes) of a RAID set.
Using LUNs, the FC host can address multiple peripheral devices that may share a common
controller.
LUN masking A software feature that assigns LUNs to specific servers or hides LUNs from specific servers for
maximum access and availability control.
HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array. MSA allows you to "hot add" drives, servers, and disk
MSA
enclosures—which delivers significant operational savings over traditional Direct Attach
Storage (DAS)—while maintaining the affordability and efficiency of Smart Array.
NIC Network Interface Controller.
NDP Neighbor Discovery Protocol for IPv6 is part of the Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
protocol. It replaces the Address Resolution Protocol used with IPv4.
network adapter A chip that provides network capabilities. A computer may include a network adapter on its
system board, or on an adapter card. Also a NIC (network interface card or controller).
NTFS NT File System, the file system for the Windows NT/2000/XP operating system. NTFS provides
increase reliability and security in comparison to other methods of organizing and accessing
files.
partition A portion of a physical disk that functions as if it were a physically separate unit and is
dedicated to a particular operating system or application and accessed as a single unit.
