Q

Failover

When an in-use path fails, if another active path is available, it is automatically used. When all active paths have failed, a set of passive paths can be made active and used. See also Active Path, In Use Path, and Passive Path.

In an active/passive configuration, the term failover usually refers to failing traffic from the primary paths to the secondary paths, which usually requires that the secondary paths be made active.

Front-side Path

A path between the host (HBA) and the SANbox SSP.

GUI

Graphical User Interface

In Use Path

A path that is currently being used for I/O traffic.

Inactive Boot Set

The boot set that is not in use in a running system.

Initiator

See Initiator Device.

Initiator Device

A device that contains one or more initiator ports.

Initiator Port

A Fibre Channel port capable of issuing SCSI commands.

Invalid Boot Set

A boot set that is empty or otherwise does not contain a usable system image.

LUN

Logical Unit Number, a numeric identifier for a virtual disk exposed through a particular target.

Maintenance Mode Image

Software component that implements basic system maintenance functions for the SANbox SSP, including system update capability.

Passive Path

A path that must have some operation performed on it to make it Active. See also Active/Active RAID, Active/Passive RAID, Active Path, and Secondary Path.

Patch File

Incremental update to an existing system image.

Physical disk

A SCSI disk device that can be discovered and managed by SANbox SSP.

POST

Power-On Self Test, the diagnostic sequence executed by SANbox SSP during system startup.

Primary Path

For an active/passive device, a path belonging to the set of paths that are active by default. See also Active/Passive RAID, Active Path, and Secondary Path.
