connects to the PCI bus of the processor. Not visible within

 

the processor’s memory space.

configuration

The way a system is set up. May refer to hardware or software:

 

Hardware: The number, type, and arrangement of

 

components that make up a system or network.

 

Software: The set of parameters that guide switch operation.

 

May include general system parameters, IP address

 

information, domain ID, and other information. Modifiable

 

by any login with administrative privileges. May also refer

 

to a set of zones.

CRC

Cyclic redundancy check. A check for transmission errors that

 

is included in every data frame.

data word

A type of transmission word that occurs within frames. The

 

frame header, data field, and CRC all consist of data words.

defined zone con- The set of all zone objects defined in the fabric. May

figuration

include multiple zone configurations. See also zone, zone

 

configuration.

directory service

See SNS.

DLS

Dynamic load sharing. Dynamic distribution of traffic over

 

available paths. Allows for recomputing of routes when an

 

Fx_Port or E_Port changes status.

domain ID

Unique identifier used in routing frames for all switches in a

 

fabric. Usually assigned by the principal switch, but can be

 

assigned manually. The domain ID for an HP switch can be any

 

integer between 1 and 239. The default domain ID is usually 1.

E_D_TOV

Error-detect time-out value. The minimum time a target waits

 

for a sequence to complete before initiating recovery. Can

 

also be defined as the maximum time allowed for a round-trip

 

transmission before an error condition is declared.

E_Port

Expansion port. A type of switch port that can be connected

 

to an E_Port on another switch to create an ISL. See also ISL

 

trunking, U_Port.

EE_Credit

End-to-end credit. The number of receive buffers allocated by

 

a recipient port to an originating port. Used by Class 1 and

 

Class 2 services to manage the exchange of frames across the

 

fabric between source and destination.

EIA rack

A storage rack that meets the standards set by the Electronics

 

Industry Association (EIA).
