Glossary
CHAP Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol.
An authentication technique for confirming the identity of one computer to
another.
direct connect A utility used to connect a server or mpx100/100b FC port directly to the EVA
FC port without a the need for a Fibre Channel switch.
fabric connect A utility used to connect a server or mpx100/100b FC port to a Fibre Channel
switch to access the EVA FC ports.
GbE Gigabit Ethernet
Packet-based signaling technology that transmits data at throughput speeds of
up to 1000 megabits per second (Mbps), or1 Gigabit per second (Gbps).
high availability A system structure that keeps resources available when certain system
components in the system fail.
Initiator A device that starts an iSCSI transaction by issuing a command to another
device (the iSCSI target).
IP Internet Protocol
The standard Internet protocol for moving packets of information from one
computer to another. Commonly combined with TCP in the phrase TCP/IP.
IP SAN A Storage Area Network (SAN) created using the Internet SCSI (iSCSI) protocol
to connect servers and storage over a Gigabit Ethernet network.
IQN iSCSI Qualified Name
A name format for iSCSI that uniquely identifies every device in the world. For
example: iqn.5886.com.acme.tapedrive.sn-a12345678.
iSCSI Internet SCSI.
An IP-based standard for linking data storage devices over a network and
transferring data by carrying SCSI commands over IP networks.
iSCSI CRC iSCSI cyclic redundancy check.
A shortened cyclic code check used for error detection.
iSNS Internet Storage Name Service
A protocol designed to facilitate the automated discovery, management, and
configuration of iSCSI and Fibre Channel devices on a TCP/IP network.
mpx100/100b Serves as the iSCSI data transport that transfers data to and from the server
and the storage system.
SCSI small computer system interface.
A parallel interface standard used to attach peripheral devices to computers.
Switch An IP network communications device that routes packets (messages or
fragments of messages) between nodes across virtual circuits.
teaming The concept of multiple network adapters working together as a single network
adapter.
See also virtual network adapter.
