controller software.
cold swap

from one or more shelves in a cabinet thereby affecting other devices.
Use this method during initial installation or StorageWorks subsystem
upgrades, or when conditions preclude using either the “warm swap”
or “hot swap” method.

command line interpreter
See CLI.
connector
Any connector that is physically part of a cable assembly attached to
backplanes or other nondevice connectors.
controller
(1) A hardware-software device that manages communications on
behalf of host systems over the SCSI bus to devices. Controllers
typically differ by the type of interface to the host and provide
functions beyond those the devices support. (2) A standalone device
that connects a host adapter to the storage SCSI bus. This device
provides RAID functionality, typically has multiple SCSI bus ports,
performs the lower layers of the SCSI protocol, and normally
operates in the initiator role.
