field-replaceable unit (FRU)
A storage system component that you can add to your storage system or
replace in your storage system at your site. Examples of FRUs are disks,
power supplies, memory cards, and power supplies.
storage processor (SP)
A printed-circuit board with processors, memory modules, and control
logic that manages the I/O between the server and the disk modules.
disk pool A set of disks with the same capacity and RAID type on which you create
one of more virtual disks.
virtual disk A grouping of physical disk partitions into one span of disk storage space.
Each virtual disk you create is distributed equally across the disks in the
disk pool. A virtual disk looks like an individual disk to the server s
operating system.
CHAP Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol. An optional security
mechanism to control access to an iSCSI storage system over the iSCSI
