The SCSI identifier for a volume as it is recognized by a particular host. The
same volume can be represented by a different LUN to a different host.

See media access control (MAC)
A Solaris host serving the configuration, management, and monitoring
software for Sun Storage 2500-M2 Arrays. The software on the station can be
accessed with a browser to run the browser interface or with a remote
scripting command-line interface (CLI) client to access the SSCS CLI
commands.
A design for reliability that uses redundant configuration. Array
configurations share master/alternate master configurations: each array
configuration has two controller trays that are grouped as one host. In each
case, the master component uses the IP address and name. If the master
fails, the alternate master assumes the IP address and name and takes over
the master's functions.
The physical address identifying an Ethernet controller board. The MAC
address, also called an Ethernet address, is set at the factory and must be
mapped to the IP address of the device.
A form of storage – also called RAID Level 1, independent copy, and
real-time copy – whereby two or more independent, identical copies of data
are maintained on separate media. Typical mirroring technologies enable the
cloning of data sets to provide redundancy for a storage system.
A design for redundancy that provides at least two physical paths to a
target.
System management traffic outside of the primary data path that uses an
Ethernet network. See also
See power distribution unit
See storage pool.
The assembly that provides power management for the system. The
redundant design uses two PDUs in each system so that the system's data
path continues to function if one of the PDUs fails.
See storage profile.
The process of allocation and assignment of storage to hosts.
An acronym for Redundant Array of Independent Disks, a family of
techniques for managing multiple disks to deliver desirable cost, data
availability, and performance characteristics to host environments. Also, a
phrase adopted from the 1988 SIGMOD paper A Case for Redundant Arrays
of Inexpensive Disks.
