Online
Forthe PSFR-CP41, online indicates that at least one adapter in the PSFR-
CP41 is activeand available for access.
Fora SCSI adapter, online indicates theSCSI adapter is active and available
foraccess and input/output processing.
Fora FC adapter, online indicates the FC adapter is active and available for
accessand input/output processing.
Originator
The FibreChannel N_Port responsible for starting an exchange. A FC origi-
nator is comparableto a SCSI initiator.
Point-to-Point
One of three existingFC topologies, in which two ports are directly
connectedby a link with no fabric, loop, or switching elements present. The
PSFR-CP41 supports all topologies.
Port Nam e
Afield value under the FC Status Menu; the FC port identifier; a 64-bit value
the factory assignsto each FC adapter.
POST
See PowerOn Self Test.
PowerOn Self Test (POST)
A group of testsr un when the PSFR-CP41 is poweredon.
Processor
Contains the arithmetic and logic,control, and inter nal memory units that
control the PSFR-CP41.
Reset SCSI
Fora specific SCSI bus, the host clears all inputs and outputs and then
resets the busand all the devices connected to it.
Responder
The logical functionin an N_Port responsible for supporting the exchange
initiatedby the originator in another N_Port. A FC responder is comparable
to a SCSI target. The PSFR-CP41 is often the responder.
