iSR6200 Intelligent Storage RouterInstallation GuideFL_PortFabric loop port. In a Fibre Channel, thefabric switch is capable of Fibre Channelarbitrated loop operations and isconnected to one or more NL_Ports by aFibre Channel Arbitrated Loop. AnFL_Port becomes a shared entry point forpublic NL_Port devices to a Fibre Channelfabric. FL_Ports are intermediate ports invirtual point-to-point links between endports that do not reside on the same loop,for example NL_Port to FL_Port to F_Portto N_Port through a single Fibre Channelfabric switch.FlashNon-volatile memory where the boot codeis saved. At times, Flash and boot codeare used interchangeably.Flash BIOSA QLA2xxx adapter's flash programmableread-only memory (PROM) contains thecode that allows booting from the adapterat startup.frameData unit consisting of a start-of-frame(SOF) delimiter, header, data payload,CRC, and an end-of-frame (EOF) delimiter.FRUField replaceable unit. Component thatcan be replaced in the field upon failure.G_PortGeneric port. A port that can operate aseither an E_Port or an F_Port. A G_Portcan determine operating mode at switchport initialization, F_Port when an N_Portattachment is determined, E_Port when anE_Port attachment is determined. SeeE_Port, F_Port, FL_Port, L_Port, N_Port,NL_Port.GBICGigabit interface converter. Removabletransceiver module that permits FibreChannel and Ethernet physical layer transport.GbpsGigabits per second. A measure of datatransfer rates.gigabit interface converterSee GBIC.HAHigh availability. HA refers to a system ordevice that operates continuously for along length of time.Host Bus AdapterSee adapter.heartbeat LEDA chassis LED that indicates the routerstatus.high availabilitySee HA.hot replaceableAlso known as hot swappable, this meansyou can add new devices or removeexisting ones when the system is running.IANAInternet Assigned Numbers Authority(IANA) is responsible for the global coordinationof the DNS Root, IP addressing,and other Internet protocol resources.initiatorSystem component, such as a networkinterface card, that originates an I/Ooperation.Glossary-4ISR651101-00 G
iSR6200 Intelligent Storage RouterInstallation GuideioctlInput/output control. A system call inUNIX ® /Linux systems that allows an applicationto control or communicate with adevice driver outside usual read/writeoperations.IPInternet Protocol. A method by which datais sent from one computer to another overthe Internet. IP specifies the format ofpackets, also called datagrams, and theaddressing scheme.iSCSIInternet small computer system interface.Protocol that encapsulates data into IPpackets to send over Ethernet connections.iSNSInternet simple name service (iSNS) isused for discovery and management ofIP-based SANs.L_PortLoop port. Does arbitrated loop functionsand protocols. NL_Ports and FL_Ports areexamples of loop-capable ports. SeeE_Port, F_Port, FL_Port, G_Port, N_Port,NL_Port.latencyA measure of how fast a transactiontravels through the router.LEDLight emitting diode. Status indicator on aswitch or other device.light emitting diodeSee LED.LIPLoop initialization process. The initializationprocess in an arbitrated loop thatoccurs when the loop is powered up or anew device is added. One function of a LIPis to assign addresses. All data transmissionon the loop is suspended during a LIP.load balancingA software feature that improves systemperformance by balancing device accessbetween multiple ports for maximumresource efficiency.logical unit numberSee LUN.loop initialization processSee LIP.loopbackDiagnostic tool that routes transmit datathrough a loopback connector back to thesame adapter.LUNLogical unit number, a subdivision of aSCSI target. It is the small integer handlethat differentiates an individual disk driveor partition (volume) within a commonSCSI target device such as a disk array.Technically, a LUN can be a singlephysical disk drive, multiple physical diskdrives, or a portion (volume) of a singlephysical disk drive. However, LUNs aretypically not entire disk drives but rathervirtual partitions (volumes) of a RAID set.Using LUNs, the Fibre Channel host canaddress multiple peripheral devices thatmay share a common controller.maintenance buttonMultifunction momentary switch on thefront panel of the router.ISR651101-00 G Glossary-5
