In layman’s terms, this means longer distance. Quantum TC2201E User’s Guide...
  • Page 195 An iSCSI term that includes iSCSI Arbitrated Loop, Switched Fabric, and Point-to-Point. During power up and self test, the TC2201E Fault LED comes on. After self test, if this LED remains on or comes on, the TC2201E has a problem with one of its components. During normal operation, this LED should be off.
  • Page 196 Numerical identifier A menu name. It allows for generic Fibre Channel host bus adapters to access SCSI devices attached to the TC2201E using a table which is indexed by sequential LUN values. A device (usually a host system) that requests an operation to be performed by another device known as a target (usually a peripheral).
  • Page 197 A table which is indexed by sequential LUN values, indicating selected BUS:TARGET:LUN devices. It is used by the TC2201E to perform Fibre Channel-to-SCSI operations by default. megabyte. (There are 8 bits in a byte.) See Management Information Base.
  • Page 198 TC2201E to the specified iSCSI device. For the TC2201E, online indicates that at least one adapter in the TC2201E is active and available for access. For a SCSI adapter, online indicates the SCSI adapter is active and available for access and input/output processing.
  • Page 199 A 16-bit fast/wide SE or Differential or LVD or 8-bit narrow single-ended physical connection between the TC2201E and the SCSI devices. Each SCSI adapter supports up to sixteen (for fast/ wide) or eight (for narrow) SCSI devices, including itself.
  • Page 200 A SCSI device can act as an initiator or target. For SCSI-3, each SCSI device supports up to sixteen LUNs. An opening at the back of the TC2201E providing connection between the SCSI adapter and the SCSI bus. A menu name used to show the number of SCSI devices on the bus.
  • Page 201 The purpose is to notify the management station of some unusual event. A status type in the FC Status Menu showing the identification of the node. A status type in the FC Status Menu showing the identification of the port. Quantum TC2201E User’s Guide Glossary...
