Terminology

AX100-Series - Installing a Fibre Channel Storage System with a Direct Connection to a Solaris Server
This document uses the terms new and existing to refer to storage
systems, servers, and host bus adapters (HBAs) as follows:
Existing HBA The host bus adapter (HBA) that is already installed in a server.
Existing server The server that is already configured for and connected to an
AX-Series storage system.
Existing storage system An AX-Series storage system that is already connected to a
server and configured for storage.
Host A computer that is or will be connected to an AX-Series storage
system. This computer is called either a management host or a
server, depending on how it is or will be connected to the storage
system.
Management host A host from which you manage AX-Series storage systems. It
must be on the same LAN as the storage-system management
ports. A management host may also be server.
New HBA The HBA that was not already installed in the server.
New server A server that is not already connected to or set up for an
AX-Series storage system.
New storage system A storage system that is not connected to a server or configured
for storage. It is just as it was shipped to you.
Server A host that is already or will be connected directly to the Fibre
channel ports on a AX-Series storage systems. A server can
also be a management host.
The document also uses SP to refer to a storage processor in the storage
system. An AX100SC storage system has only one SP, so it is called a
single-SP storage system. An AX100 storage system has two SPs, so it
is called a dual-SP storage system.
