service daemon
A daemon (observiced) that runs on each host in the administrative domain that
communicates through primary access mode. The service daemon provides a wide
variety of services, including certificate operations.
SCSI
See Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
SCSI LUN
SCSI logical unit number. A 3-bit identifier used on a SCSI bus to distinguish between
up to eight devices (logical units) with the same SCSI ID. Do not confuse with Oracle
Secure Backup logical unit number
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
A cryptographic protocol that provides secure network communication. SSL provides
endpoint authentication through a certificate. Data transmitted over SSL is protected
from eavesdropping, tampering or message forgery, and replay attacks.
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
A parallel I/O bus and protocol that permits the connection of a variety of peripherals
to host computers. Connection to the SCSI bus is achieved through a host adapter and
a peripheral controller.
SSL
See Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Storage Area Network (SAN)
A high-speed subnetwork of shared storage devices. A SAN is designed to assign data
backup and restore functions to a secondary network so that they do not interfere with
the functions and capabilities of the server.
storage device
A computer that contains disks for storing data.
storage element
A physical location within a tape library where a volume can be stored and retrieved
by a tape library's robotic arm.
storage location
A location outside of a tape library or tape drive where a volume can be stored.
tape device
A tape drive or tape library identified by a user-defined device name.
tape drive
A tape device that reads and writes data stored on a tape. Tape drives are
sequential-access, which means that they must read all preceding data to read any
particular piece of data. The tape drives are accessible through various protocols,
including Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) and Fibre Channel. A tape drive
can exist standalone or in a tape library.
