allocated storage The total amount of addressable storage in LUNs that is designated for use by
specific hosts. A LUN is considered allocated when a host operating system has
written a device handle for the LUN (in other words, claimed the LUN) or when
the array has masked the LUN to a specific target. Contrast with unallocated
storage.
application A program or group of programs designed to perform a specific task. Oracle
Database and Veritas NetBackup are examples of applications.
arbitrated loop A topology for Fibre Channel networks in which nodes are connected in a single
logical loopor ring created bytying the transmitlead of one nodeloop port tothe
receive lead of its downstream neighbor. There are primarily two types of
arbitrated loops—public loops and private loops. A public loop is attached to a
SAN fabric. A private loop is a free-standing arbitrated loop with no SAN
attachment.
