SnapServer 7.0 Administrator's Guide
SCSI device
A SCSI device is a single unit on a SCSI bus that originates or services SCSI commands. A
SCSI device is identified by a unique SCSI address. SCSI devices can act as initiators or
targets.
SCSI port
A SCSI port is an opening at the back of a router that provides connection between the SCSI
adapter and SCSI bus.
Serial Number
The ten-character alphanumeric number assigned by the manufacturer at the factory.
Server Number
A numeric derived from the MAC address of your SnapServer's primary Ethernet port that
is used to uniquely identify a SnapServer.
Session
When an initiator wants to establish a connection with a target, it establishes what is
known as an iSCSI session. A session consists of one or more TCP/IP connections between
an initiator and a target. Sessions are normally established (or re-established)
automatically when the host computer starts up, although they also can be established (and
broken) manually.
Share
A virtual folder that maps to the root of a volume or a directory on the volume. Permissions
are assigned to a share that determine access for specific users and groups.
Share Access
Permissions granted or denied to users and groups that control user and group access to the
files.
S.M.A.R.T.
Short for Self Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology. A standard mechanism for
querying disk drives to monitor performance and reliability attributes, such as
temperature, read error rates and seek times. S.M.A.R.T. systems are built into most
modern disk drives.
SMB
Short for Server Message Block. A protocol for Windows clients. SMB uses the TCP/IP
protocol. It is viewed as a complement to the existing Internet application protocols such as
FTP and HTTP. With SMB, you can access local server files, obtain read-write privileges to
local server files, share files with other clients, and restore connections automatically if the
network fails.
SMS
Short for Short Message Service. Is a means of sending short text messages to a mobile
phone.
SMTP
Short for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol used for sending and receiving
email.
