Page 106: Federal Communications Commission Notice
Regulatory Compliance Notices Federal Communications Commission Notice Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended installation.

The following cross-references are used in this glossary: Contrast with. This refers to a term that has an opposite or substantively different meaning. See.
Page 122 Glossary backplane The backplane provides 48 VDC power distribution and connections for all logic cards. backup FRU When an active FRU fails, an identical backup FRU takes over operation automatically (failover) to maintain director and Fibre Channel link operation. beaconing Use of light-emitting diodes on ports, port cards, field-replaceable units, and directors to aid in the fault-isolation process;...

Glossary call-home Product feature which enables the HAFM server to automatically contact a support center and report system problems. The support center server accepts calls from the HAFM server, logs reported events, and can notify one or more support center representatives. channel Point-to-point link that transports data from one point to the other.
Page 124 Glossary configuration data Configuration data includes: identification data, port configuration data, operating parameters, SNMP configuration, and zoning configuration. A configuration backup file is required to restore configuration data if the CTP2 card in a non-redundant director is removed and replaced. connectionless Non-dedicated link.
Page 125 Glossary default Pertaining to an attribute, value, or option that is assumed when none is explicitly specified. default zone Contains all attached devices that are not members of a separate zone. destination address Address identifier that indicates the targeted destination of a data frame. device Product, connected to a managed director, that is not controlled directly by the Product Manager.
Page 126 Glossary E_D_TOV See error-detect time-out value. Embedded Web Server Administrators or operators with a browser-capable PC and an Internet connection can monitor and manage the director through an Embedded Web Server interface. The interface provides a GUI similar to the Product Manager application, and supports director configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation.
Page 127 Glossary fabric element Any active director or node in a switched fabric. fabric port Physical interface within the fabric that connects to an N_Port through a point-to-point full duplex connection. failover Automatic and non-disruptive transition of functions from an active FRU that has failed to a backup FRU.
Page 128 Glossary See fiber port module card. F_Port See fabric port. See field-replaceable unit. gateway A multi-homed host used to route network traffic from one network to another, and to pass network traffic from one protocol to another. gateway address A unique string of numbers (in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) that identifies a gateway on the network.
Page 129 Glossary homogeneous fabric A fabric consisting of only HP products. hop count The number of hops a unit of information traverses in a fabric. host bus adapter Logic card that provides a link between the server and storage subsystem, and that integrates the operating systems and I/O protocols to ensure interoperability.
Page 130: Ip Address
Glossary interswitch link Also known as ISL. Physical E_Port connection between two directors in a fabric. I/O configuration See input/output configuration. IOCDS A data set that contains an I/O configuration definition built by the IOCP. IOCP See input/output configuration program. IP address See internet protocol address.
Page 131 Glossary logical unit number Also known as LUN. In Fibre Channel addressing, a logical unit number is a number assigned to a storage device which, in combination with the storage device’s node port’s world wide name, represents a unique identifier for a logical device on a storage area network. loopback plug In a fiber optic environment, a type of duplex connector used to wrap the optical output signal of a device directly to the optical input.
Page 132 Glossary multi-switch fabric Fibre Channel fabric created by linking more than one director or fabric switching device within a fabric. name server Program that translates names from one form into another. Domain name servers (DNS) translate domain names into IP addresses. name server zoning N_Port access management that allows N_Ports to communicate if and only if they belong to a common name server zone.
Page 133 Offline—when the director is set offline, all ports are set offline. The director transmits the offline sequence (OLS) to attached devices, and the devices cannot log in to the director. operating state (port) Valid states include Online, Offline, Testing, Beaconing, Invalid Attachment, Link Incident, No Light, Not Operational, Port Failure, Segmented E_Port.
Page 134 Glossary persistent binding A form of server-level access control that uses configuration information to bind a server to a specific Fibre Channel storage volume (or logical device) using a unit number. port Receptacle on a device to which a cable leading to another device can be attached. port card Field-replaceable hardware component that provides the port connections for fiber cables and performs specific device-dependent logic functions.
Page 135 Glossary remote access link Connection to a device or program on a computer network via a (geographically) remote workstation. remote notification A process by which a system is able to inform remote users and/or workstations of certain classes of events that occur on the system. E-mail notification and the configuration of SNMP trap recipients are two examples of remote notification programs that can be implemented on director-class switches.
Page 136: Subnet Mask
Glossary SNMP community Also known as SNMP community string. SNMP community is a cluster of managed products (in SNMP terminology, hosts) to which the server or managed product running the SNMP agent belongs. SNMP community name The name assigned to a given SNMP community. Queries from an SNMP management station to a device running an SNMP agent will only elicit a response if those queries are addressed with the correct SNMP community name.
Page 137 Glossary unblocked port Devices attached to an unblocked port can login to the director and communicate with devices attached to any other unblocked port assuming that this is supported by the current zoning configuration. unicast Communication between a single sender and a single receiver over a network. Compare to multicast and anycast (communication between any sender and the nearest of a group of receivers).
Page 138 Glossary zone member Specification of a device to be included in a zone. A zone member can be identified by the port number of the director to which it is attached or by its world wide name. In multi-switch fabrics, identification of end-devices/nodes by world wide name is preferable. zone set See zone.
