Glossary
RAID 0 (nonredundant array), RAID 1/0 (mirrored RAID 0), disk
(individual disk), or hot spare. Before the LUN can store data, you
must make it available to the operating system. Unbinding reverses
the bind process, changing a LUN into its original disks or disk parts.
Unbinding destroys all user information on the LUN. You bind (and
unbind) disks using Navisphere Manager or the CLI as described in
the Navisphere Manager or Agent and CLI manual.
C
cache See storage-system caching.
CLI A command line interpreter that lets you bind disks into LUNs on a
non-RAID group storage system, create RAID groups and bind LUNs
on them on a RAID group storage system, unbind LUNs, destroy
RAID groups, set storage system properties, and ascertain
storage-system status. Navisphere CLI lets you do that for multiple
storage systems on multiple servers running Navisphere Agent. For
more information on Navisphere CLI, refer to the Navisphere Agent
and CLI manual for AIX environments.
D
disk A self-contained disk drive that slides into one slot in the front of the
storage system. It consists of the carrier assembly, which holds the
disk drive and the regulator board. Also called disk module.
disk unit A short name for LUN.
F
FC-AL (Fibre Channel
arbitrated loop)
An arrangement of Fibre Channel stations such that messages pass
from one to the next in a ring.
FC-AL address ID A number that identifies a device as a node on a Fibre Channel loop.
You select the FC-AL address ID for an SP using switches on the back
of the storage system. The default FC-AL address ID for SP A is 0; the
default FC-AL address ID for SP B is 1.
fibre General name for physical media supported by Fibre Channel, either
optical or copper.
