Glossary

Mapping Table

A table which is indexed by sequential LUN values, indicating selected BUS:TARGET:LUN devices. It is used by the PSFR-CP41 to perform Fibre Channel-to-SCSI operations by default.

MIB

See Management Information Base.

Multiplexer

A device that allows two or more signals to be transmitted simultaneously on a single channel.

Motherboard

The main PCA of the PSFR-CP41 that provides a physical and logical connection between Fibre Channel and SCSI devices.

N_Port

A FC term defining a ”Node” port. A FC-defined hardware entity that performs data communication over the FC link. It is identifiable by a unique Worldwide Name. It can act as an originator or a responder.

N_Port Identifier

A FC term indicating a unique address identifier by which an N_Port is uniquely known. It consists of a Domain (most significant byte), an Area, and a Port, each 1 byte long. The N_Port identifier is used in the Source Identifier (S_ID) and Destination Identifier (D_ID) fields of a FC frame.

Node Name

A field value under the FC Status Menu. The unique FC identifier, a 64-bit value, the factory assigns to the PSFR-CP41.

Offline

Taking the PSFR-CP41 offline indicates that all SCSI and FC adapters in the PSFR-CP41 are offline.

Taking a SCSI adapter offline means ending inputs/outputs and suspending all transactions going from the PSFR-CP41 to the specified SCSI devices. The SCSI adapter is no longer active or available for access.

Taking a FC adapter offline means ending inputs/outputs and suspending all transactions going from the PSFR-CP41 to the specified FC device.
