FICON

Fibre Connectivity

flash drive

A data drive that uses a solid-state memory device instead of a rotating hard disk.

flash module

A high speed data storage device that includes a custom flash controller and several flash memory
sub-modules on a single PCB.

FMD

See flash module

HBA

host bus adapter

HDD

hard disk drive

HDU

hard disk unit

head LDEV

See top LDEV.

host group

A group of hosts of the same operating system platform.

host mode

Operational modes that provide enhanced compatibility with supported host platforms. Used
with fibre-channel ports on RAID storage systems.

host mode option

Additional options for fibre-channel ports on RAID storage systems. Provide enhanced functionality
for host software and middleware.

in-system
replication

The original data volume and its copy are located in the same storage system. Business Copy
in-system replication provides duplication of logical volumes; Snapshot in-system replication
provides “snapshots” of logical volumes that are stored and managed as virtual volumes (V-VOLs).

See also remote replication.

internal volume

A logical volume whose data resides on drives that are physically located within the storage
system. See also external volume.

JNL

journal

journal volume

A volume that records and stores a log of all events that take place in another volume. In the
event of a system crash, the journal volume logs are used to restore lost data and maintain data
integrity.

In Continuous Access Journal, differential data is held in journal volumes on until it is copied to
the S-VOL.

JRE

Java Runtime Environment

keypair

Two mathematically-related cryptographic keys: a private key and its associated public key.

LBA

logical block address

LCP

local control port; link control processor

LD

local directory; logical device

LDAP

lightweight directory access protocol

LDEV

logical device

LDKC

See logical disk controller (LDKC) .

LDM

Logical Disk Manager

license key

A specific set of characters that unlocks an application and allows it to be used.

local control port
(LCP)

A serial-channel (ESCON) port configured to receive I/Os from a host or remote I/Os from a
Continuous Access Synchronous main control unit (MCU).

local copy

See in-system replication.

logical device
(LDEV)

An individual logical data volume (on multiple drives in a RAID configuration) in the storage
system. An LDEV may or may not contain any data and may or may not be defined to any hosts.
Each LDEV has a unique identifier or “address” within the storage system composed of the logical
disk controller (LDKC) number, control unit (CU) number, and LDEV number. The LDEV IDs within
a storage system do not change. An LDEV formatted for use by mainframe hosts is called a logical
volume image (LVI). An LDEV formatted for use by open-system hosts is called a logical unit (LU).

logical disk
controller (LDKC)

A group of 255 control unit (CU) images in the RAID storage system that is controlled by a virtual
(logical) storage system within the single physical storage system. For example, the Universal
Storage Platform V storage system supports two LDKCs, LDKC 00 and LDKC 01.
