Multi-adapter bridge domain
This is the set of all card locations controlled by one multi-adapter bridge.
Multi-adapter bridge Function
This identifies a single PCI adapter card location under an multi-adapter bridge. The multi-adapter
bridge function number is part of the Direct Select Address for a PCI I/O adapter. The
multi-adapter bridge number and the multi-adapter bridge function number together indicate a
unique card location connected to a given system PCI bus. The bus number and the multi-adapter
bridge number and the multi-adapter bridge function number together identify a unique PCI I/O
resource in the system.
MES Miscellaneous equipment specification.
The process of either an upgrade of your existing system or moving parts from an existing system
to a new system, are called miscellaneous equipment specification (MES).
MFIOP
Multiple Function I/O Processor.
mirrored protection
A function that protects data by duplicating all disk unit data on one storage unit in an auxiliary
storage pool to another storage unit in the same auxiliary storage pool.
MSD Main store dump.
MSIOP
Magnetic Storage I/O Processor.
Multi-adapter Bridge
This is a PCI bridge resource in the I/O hardware which provides for the connection of PCI
adapters to the system PCI I/O bus. Each PCI adapter connected under an multi-adapter bridge is
controlled individually by the multi-adapter bridge. The multi-adapter bridge number identifies an
multi-adapter bridge on a given system PCI I/O bus and is part of the Direct Select Address for a
PCI I/O adapter. The bus number and the multi-adapter bridge number together identify a unique
multi-adapter bridge in the system.
