host-side ports See host port .
hot-pluggable The ability to add and remove elements or devices to a system or appliance while the appliance
is running and have the operating system automatically recognize the change.
hub A communications infrastructure device to which nodes on a multi-point bus or loop are physically
connected. It is used to improve the manageability of physical cables.
I
I/O module Input/Output module. The enclosure element that is the Fibre Channel drive enclosure interface
to the host or controller.
IDX A 2-digit decimal number portion of the HSV controller termination code display that defines one
of 48 locations in the Termination Code array that contains information about a specific event.
in-band
communication The communication that uses the same communications channel as the operational data.
INFORMATION
condition A drive enclosure EMU condition report that may require action. This condition is for information
only and does not indicate the failure of an element. All condition reports have precedence over
an INFORMATION condition.
initialization A configuration step that binds the controllers together and establishes preliminary data structures
on the array. Initialization also sets up the first disk group, called the default disk group, and
makes the array ready for use.
