(See also: Dev number)

Dev number

A Dev number (the DNum column) in the configuration list in HDLM.

0

is displayed as the number indicating the entire LU.

HDLM operates assuming that one LU has one Dev, so the Dev number is always fixed

to

0

.

(See also: Dev)

dynamic reconfiguration

Dynamic reconfiguration enables HDLM to recognize devices whose configuration

has been changed without restarting the host. The plug-and-play operation of Windows

enables this functionality.

E

emulation type

An LU type that is accessible from a host. Since an HDLM host is an open-system host

such as a PC or a UNIX computer, the HDLM host can access only the LUs that have

open-system emulation types.
For details on emulation types supported by a storage system, see the maintenance

manual for that particular storage system.

F

failback

A function for placing the status of a path recovered from an error into the

Online

status, and then switching the access path to the path that was just recovered.

failover

A function for switching to another normal path if there is an error in the current access

path, thereby enabling the system to continue to operate.

FC-SAN (Fibre Channel - Storage Area Network)

A SAN using Fibre Channel.

H

HBA (Host Bus Adapter)

A device that is an interface between hosts and external devices.
