E
Event log
A log of critical or informational events that occurred on the network.
Export
To make a portion of a file system on a remote computer accessible to a local (client)
computer.
G
Gateway
A combination of hardware and software that links two different networks using different
communications protocols so that information can be passed from one to the other. A
gateway both transfers information and converts it to a form compatible with the protocols
used by the receiving network.
Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC)
A transceiver that converts electric currents (digital highs and lows) to optical signals, and
optical signals to digital electric currents. The GBIC is typically employed in fiber optic and
Ethernet systems as an interface for high-speed networking. The data transfer rate is one
gigabit per second (1 Gbps) or more.
Gateway address
The IP address of a network server or host that functions as a gateway to other networks
through communication lines or other network topologies.
Group Identification (GID)
A number in the UNIX environment that identifies a group of individuals or services to a
computer system.
Group quota
Allows you to restrict the space usage on the HP NAS VA for groups.
H
Host Bus Adapter (HBA)
An HBA is an I/O adapter that sits between the host computer's bus and the Fibre Channel
loop and manages the transfer of information between the two channels. In order to minimize
the impact on host processor performance, the host bus adapter performs many low-level
interface functions automatically or with minimal processor involvement.
Hot swapping
A feature that allows equipment to be connected to an active device, such as a computer,
while the device is powered on.
