iSCSI Internet small computer system interface. Like an ordinary SCSI interface, iSCSI is standards-based
and efficiently transmits block-level data between a host computer (such as a server that hosts
Exchange or SQL Server) and a target device (such as the HP All-in-One Storage System). By
carrying SCSI commands over IP networks, iSCSI is used to facilitate data transfers over intranets
and to manage storage over long distances.
LD, LDEV Logical device. An LDEV is created when a RAID group is carved into pieces according to the
selected host emulation mode (that is, OPEN-3, OPEN-8, OPEN-9). The number of resulting LDEVs
depends on the selected emulation mode. The term LDEV is also known as term volume.
LUN Logical unit number. A LUN results from mapping a logical unit number, port ID, and LDEV ID to
a RAID group. The size of the LUN is determined by the emulation mode of the LDEV and the
number of LDEVs associated with the LUN.
MSA Modular Smart Array.
NRAID A RAID level that uses nonstriped mapping to a single disk.
OA Onboard Administrator.
RAID Redundant array of independent disks.
RDM Raw device mapping.
