The Library - IBM TS4500 Introduction And Planning Manual

Integrated management console (IMC)
With the TS4500 tape library, a built-in
platform for tools that are used to manage

the library.

interchange
The ability to process (read or write)
given tape data on any one of a set of
tape devices that support the form factor
and recording format of the tape data.
interchange application
The preparation of tapes for use on other
systems or devices, either local or remote,
or the use of tape data that is prepared by
another system.
Internet
The worldwide collection of
interconnected networks that use the
Internet suite of protocols and permit
public access.
interposer
An adapter-like device that allows a
connector of one size and style to connect
to a mating connector of a different size
and style.
inventory
(1) A survey of tape cartridges in the
library and frames.
(2) To make an inventory of.
I/O station
See input/output station.
IPL
Initial program load.
ISV See independent software vendor.
K
kBtu KiloBtu.
Kerberos
A network authentication protocol that
allows nodes communicating over a
non-secure network to prove their
identity to one another in a secure
manner. It is designed to provide strong
authentication for client/server
applications by using secret-key
cryptography.
key label
An alias to a encryption key (cipher) used
by the encryption key manager.

key manager
In cryptography, a software application
that manages one or more secret
encryption keys.
key manager address
In cryptography, the IP address of an
encryption key manager.
keystore
A database of private keys and their
associated digital certificate chains that
are used to authenticate the
corresponding public keys.
KiB One kibibyte (KiB) = 2
bytes.
KiloBtu
1 000 Btu's.
KiloVolt
1 000 volts.
kilowatt
1 000 watts.
kVA
KiloVolt.
kW
Kilowatt.
L
label See bar code label or radio frequency
identification label.
label area
On the LTO tape cartridge or 3592 tape
cartridge, a recessed area next to the
write-protect switch where a bar code
label must be affixed.
LAN See local area network.
LCD See liquid crystal display.
LDAP See lightweight directory access protocol.
leader pin
On the LTO tape cartridge and 3592 tape
cartridge, a small metal column that is
attached to the end of the magnetic tape.
During the processing of the tape, the
leader pin is grasped by a threading
mechanism, which pulls the pin and the
tape out of the cartridge, across the drive
head, and onto a take-up reel. The head
can then read or write data from or to the
tape.
