target ID
See SCSI ID.
termination
Termination (also known as a terminator block) refers to the
electrical connection at each end of a SCSI bus. The function of a
terminator block is to provide for a proper electrical transmission
of the data across the cable. SCSI buses require that a terminator be
placed on the output SCSI connector on the last SCSI peripheral.
Data errors may occur in a SCSI bus that is not terminated.
topology
A network topology refers to the physical layout of nodes on a
network. Fibre channel (FC) topologies include point-to-point, FC-
AL, and fabric. See release forced reset (unkill).
V
verify
A function of the RAID controller that insures the redundant data
is consistent with the data. For a mirror set, the system ensures that
the data on the two disk drives is consistent. For an array type that
uses parity for the redundancy, it checks the parity and fixes any
parity errors.
volume set
An array type that is a concatenation (combination) of one or more
partitions on one or more disk drives. The partitions in a volume
set do not have to be the same size. See also partition.
Z
zero
A function that writes zeroes in every data block of an array or
disk drive. Using Zero permanently deletes all data from the array
or disk drive.
