Pathlight VX Site Preparation Guide

Serviceability

A RAS attribute that is designed to accurately diagnose and report failures, as well as minimize downtime

in a storage solution.

SFP (small form-factor-pluggable)

A hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into an Ethernet port or slot, linking that port with the

network.

SNC (storage networking controller)

ADIC term for a storage networking appliance. The SNC enables high-performance, networked

communications that support intelligence functionality within the Pathlight VX storage system.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

The protocol governing network management and the monitoring of network devices and their functions.

SPS (Standby Power Supply)

The component of the Pathlight VX system that provides backup power to one of the DPE’s storage

processors, allowing graceful shutdown in case of a power failure.

Storage Processor (SP)

The DPE or AX100SC component that controls access between the disk modules and the rest of the

system.

Switch fabric

A set of point-to-point connections between nodes. One or more FC switches makes each connection. In

Pathlight VX, the FC switch supports this particular physical topology.

Target ID

SCSI bus address. See also LUN.

Trap

An SNMP alert sent when predefined conditions are met.

Ultrium

A high capacity implementation of LTO, a type of media.

Virtual library

A system that virtualizes physical drives and libraries. The system makes disk storage appear as if it were

a tape drive or physical library. The system also allows the virtual tape to become actual tape by integration

with physical tape systems.

WWN (World Wide Name)

A unique number assigned by a recognized naming authority. The WWN is integral to Fibre Channel

operations.
