logical volume image (LVI) or a volume. An LDEV used by open-system
hosts is called a logical unit (LU).
LU

system fibre interfaces access LUs that are mapped to one or more LDEVs.
LUN
logical unit number is an identifying number for an LU.
LUN Manager
Remote Console software option that enables you to configure the 9900V
fibre-channel ports for operational environments, and restrict host access
to LUs.
LUSE

volumes into a larger volume.
LVI
Logical Volume Image (also called device emulation)

Open Volume
Management

Virtual LVI/LUN divides a logical volume for open-system into two or more
volumes. LUN Expansion allows you to concatenate two or more volumes
into a larger volume.
Parity group
A set of hard disk drives that have the same capacity and are treated as
one group. A parity group contains both user data and parity information,

RAID450).
TCP/IP
transmission control protocol/internet protocol
TID target

Trap
An SNMP agent initiates trap operations when R-SIMs occur, in order to
send the R-SIMs to the SNMP manager (see Figure 4.1). An SNMP agent can
be configured to deliver traps to more than one SNMP manager.
TrueCopy
TrueCopy is an option product that allows you to perform host-free remote
