target

The storage-device endpoint of a SCSI session. Initiators request data from targets (usually disk-drives, tape-drives, or other media devices). Typically, a SCSI peripheral device is the target but an adapter may, in some cases, be a target. A target can contain many LUNs.

A target is a device that responds to a request by an initiator (the host system). Peripherals are targets, but for some commands (for example, a SCSI COPY command), the peripheral may act as an initiator.

TCP/IP

Transmission control protocol/Internet protocol. Basic communication language of the Internet.

world wide port name

See WWPN.

WWPN

World wide port name. Unique 64-bit address assigned to each port on a device. One WWNN may contain multiple WWPN addresses.
