comma separated values file
See CSV file.
command line interface
See CLI.
Converged Network Adapter
QLogic adapter that supports both data
networking (TCP/IP) and storage
networking (Fibre Channel) traffic on a
single I/O adapter using two new technolo-
gies: Enhanced Ethernet and Fibre
Channel over Ethernet (FCoE).
CRC
Cyclic redundancy check. A type of check
value designed to catch most transmission
errors.
CSV file
Comma separated values file. Each line in
the file corresponds to a row in the table.
Within a line, fields are separated by
commas, each field belonging to one table
column.
cyclic redundancy check
See CRC.
device
A target, typically a disk drive. Hardware
such as a disk drive, tape drive, printer, or
keyboard that is installed in or connected
to a system. In Fibre Channel, a target
device.
DHCP
Dynamic host configuration protocol
(DHCP) enables computers on an IP
network to extract their configuration from
servers that have information about the
computer only after it is requested.
driver
The software that interfaces between the
file system and a physical data storage
device or network media.
DS-1
Digital signal 1 (DS-1, also known as T1
and DS1) is a T-carrier signaling scheme
that is a widely-used standard in telecom-
munications to transmit voice and data
between devices. Technically, DS1 is the
logical bit pattern used over a physical T1
line; however, the terms DS1 and T1 are
often used interchangeably.
DS-3
Digital signal 3 (DS-3) is a digital signal
level 3 T-carrier. It may also be referred to
as a T3 line.
dynamic host configuration protocol
See DHCP.
E_Port
Expansion port. A port in a Fibre Channel
switch that connects to another Fibre
Channel switch or bridge device by an
inter-switch link. E_Ports are used to link
Fibre Channel switches to form a
multi-switch fabric.
EEPROM
Electrically erasable programmable
read-only memory. Memory that can be
erased (entirely, not selectively) using
higher electrical voltages.
Enhanced Ethernet
Also called data center Ethernet or
converged enhanced Ethernet. Refers to
new enhancements to the existing
Ethernet standard that eliminate Ethernet’s
inherently lossy nature and make 10Gb
Ethernet a viable storage networking
transport.
