High Availability
A computer chip with a read-only memory that retains its data when
the power is turned off, and that can be erased and reprogrammed
without being removed from the circuit board.
Fabric Port, a physical interface within the fabric. An F_Port attaches
to an N_Port through a point-to-point full-duplex link connection.
The smallest indivisible packet of data that is sent on a link.
Control information placed before data when encapsulating data for
network transmission.
Field-Replaceable Unit, a hardware component that can be replaced
as an entire unit. The Connectrix switch Product Manager can display
status for the FRUs installed in the unit.
G
In TCP/IP, a device that connects two systems that use the same
or different protocols.
A physical interface within the fabric capable of acting either as an
F_Port or an E_Port (extension port) depending on the port type at
the other end of the link.
Graphical user interface.
H
A record of FRU insertions and removals in a Connectrix switch.
See Host Bus Adapter.
Pertaining to a numbering system with base of 16; valid numbers use
the digits 0 through 9 and characters A through F (which represent
the numbers 10 through 15).
A performance feature characterized by hardware component
redundancy and hot-swappability (enabling non-disruptive
maintenance). High-availability systems maximize system
uptime while providing superior reliability, availability, and
serviceability.
