DKU (disk cabinet
unit)
The array cabinets that house the disk array p hysical disks.
emulation modes The logical devices (LDEVs) associated with each RAID group
are assigned an emulation mode that makes them operate like
OPEN system d
isk drives. The emulation mode determines the
size of an LDEV:
OPEN-3: 2.46 GB
OPEN-8: 7.38 G
B
OPEN-9: 7.42 GB
OPEN-E: 13.56 GB
OPEN-L: 36 GB
OPEN-V: User-defined custom size
failover Disconnecting a failed unit or path and replacing it with an
alternative unit or path in order to continue functioning.
FC Fibre
Channel.
FC-AL Fibre Channel arbitrated loop.
FCP Fibre Channel Protocol.
GB Gigabytes
HBA Host bus ad apter.
host mode Each port can be configuredforaparticularhosttype. These
modes are represented as two-digit hexadecimal numbers. For
example, host mode 08 represents an HP-UX host.
LDEV Logical device. An LDEV is created when a R AID group is
carved into pieces according to the selected host emulation
mode (that is, OPEN-3, OPEN-8, OPEN-L). The number of
resulting LD EVs depends on the selected emulation mod e. The
term LDEV is often used synonymously with the term volume.
LUN Logical unit number. A LUN results from mapping a SCSI
logical unit number, port ID, and LDEV ID to a RA I D g roup.
The size of the LUN is determined by the emulation mode of
the LDEV and the number of LDEVs associated with the LUN.
For example, a LUN associated with t wo OPEN-3 LDEVs has a
size of 4,693 MB.
LUSE A LUN is normally associated with only a single LD EV. The
LUSE feature allows a LUN to be associated with 1 to 36
LDEVs. Essentially, LUSE makes it possible for applications
to access a single large pool of storage. The LUSE feature
is available when the HP StorageWorks LUN Configuration
Manager product is installed.
