host-side ports See host ports.<br />

one or more of the virtual disks that are created and presented by the controller<br />

pair.<br />

hot-pluggable A method of element replacement whereby the complete system remains<br />

operational during element removal or insertion. Replacement does not interrupt<br />

data transfers to other elements.<br />

hub A communications infrastructure device to which nodes on a multi-point bus or<br />

loop are physically connected. It is used to improve the manageability of physical<br />

cables.<br />

I/O module Input/Output module. The enclosure element that is the Fibre Channel drive<br />

enclosure interface to the host or controller.<br />

IDX A 2-digit decimal number portion of the HSV controller termination code display<br />

that defines one of 48 locations in the Termination Code array that contains<br />

information about a specific event.<br />

See also param and TC.<br />

initialization A process that prepares a storage system for use. Specifically, the system binds<br />

controllers together as an operational pair and establishes preliminary data<br />

structures on the disk array. Initialization also sets up the first disk group, called<br />

the default disk group.<br />

input/output<br />

module<br />

See I/O module.<br />

intake temperature See ambient temperature.<br />

interface A set of protocols used components such as cables, connectors, and signal levels.<br />

JBOD Just a Bunch of Disks. A number of disks connected to one or more controllers.<br />

K Kilo. A scientific notation denoting a multiplier of one thousand (1,000).<br />

KB Kilobyte. A unit of measurement defining either storage or memory capacity.<br />

1. For storage, a KB is a capacity of 1,000 (10 3 ) bytes of data.<br />

2. For memory, a KB is a capacity of 1,024 (2 10 ) bytes of data.<br />

LAN Local area network. A group of computers and associated devices that share a<br />

common communications line and typically share the resources of a single<br />

processor or server within a small geographic area.<br />

laser A device that amplifies light waves and concentrates them in a narrow, very<br />

intense beam.<br />

Last Fault View An HSV Controller display defining the last reported fault condition.<br />

Last Termination<br />

Error <strong>Array</strong><br />

See LTEA.<br />

LED Light Emitting Diode. A semiconductor diode used in an electronic display that<br />

emits light when a voltage is applied to it. A visual indicator.<br />
