HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch Installation and Reference Guide 89
N-Port ID Virtualization
(NPIV)
A Fibre Channel facility allowing multiple N_Port IDs to share a single physical N_Port.
Pending firmware The firmware image that will be activated upon the next switch reset.
Port binding An authorization method that defines a list of device WWNs that can login to a switch
port. See Worldwide Name (WWN).
Power-on self test (POST) Diagnostics that the switch performs at start up.
Principal switch The switch in the fabric that manages domain ID assignments. See Domain ID.
QuickTools A browser-based switch management application that resides in the switch firmware.
Remote Authentication
Dial-in Service (RADIUS)
A service that supports the remote authentication of user and device logins to a switch.
Secure shell (SSH) A protocol that secures connections to the switch for the command line interface.
Secure socket layer (SSL) A protocol that secures connections to the switch for QuickTools, Enterprise Fabric
Management Suite, and SMI-S.
Security set A set of up to three groups containing no more than one of each group type: ISL, Port, or
MS. The active security set defines the device security for a switch. See Group.
Simple Network
Management Protocol
(SNMP)
An application protocol that manages and monitors network communications and
functions. It also controls the Management Information Base (MIB). See Management
Information Base (MIB).
Simple SAN Connection
Manager (SSCM)
A management application that provides a single pane of glass management for
managing and provisioning storage from HP MSA/EVA storage arrays, managing
HBAs and managing H-series switches. SSCM provides switch functions for day to day
management activities such as, IP network configuration, administrative password
control, SNMP setup, firmware upgrades, and implementation of HP best zoning
practices (single initiator zoning).
Small form-factor
pluggable (SFP)
A transceiver device, smaller than a GigaBit interface converter, that plugs into the Fibre
Channel port.
Stacking cable An XPAK cable used to connect two or more switches through the 10 Gb/s ports.
Storage Management
Initiative–Specification
(SMI-S)
A standard that provides for the management of the switch through third-party
management applications.
System Fault LED A switch LED that indicates that a fault exists in the switch firmware or hardware.
Target A storage device that responds to an initiator device.
TR_Port Transparent routing port. A port type that uses the Fibre Channel industry standard NPIV
to provide access to devices on a remote HP StorageWorks B-series or C-series fabric.
User account An object stored on a switch that consists of an account name, password, authority level,
and expiration date.
User account security A component of fabric security that provides for the administration and authentication of
account names, passwords, expiration dates, and authority level.
Workstation PC or Linux workstation that manages the switch using QuickTools or the command line
interface (CLI).
Worldwide Name (WWN) A unique 64-bit address assigned to a device by the device manufacturer.
XPAK A specification authored by a consortium of companies to govern the development of
small form factor 10 and 20 Gigabit modules.
Zone A set of ports or devices grouped together to control the exchange of information.
Zone set A set of zones grouped together. The active zone set defines the zoning for a fabric. See
Zone.
Zoning database The set of zone sets, zones, and aliases stored on a switch. See Alias, Zone, and Zone
set.
