and efficiently transmits block-level data between a host computer (such as a server that hosts

 

Exchange or SQL Server) and a target device (such as the HP All-in-One Storage System). By

 

carrying SCSI commands over IP networks, iSCSI is used to facilitate data transfers over intranets

 

and to manage storage over long distances.

LD, LDEV

Logical device. An LDEV is created when a RAID group is carved into pieces according to the

 

selected host emulation mode (that is, OPEN-3, OPEN-8, OPEN-9). The number of resulting LDEVs

 

depends on the selected emulation mode. The term LDEV is also known as term volume.

LUN

Logical unit number. A LUN results from mapping a logical unit number, port ID, and LDEV ID to

 

a RAID group. The size of the LUN is determined by the emulation mode of the LDEV and the

 

number of LDEVs associated with the LUN.

MSA

Modular Smart Array.

NRAID
