DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

discovery

A process that finds and identifies network objects. For example, discovery may
find and identify all hosts within a specified IP address range.

DKP

Disk processor

external path

A path from a storage port of a storage system to a volume on a connected
external storage system.

external volume

A logical volume whose data resides on drives that are physically located in an
externally connected storage system.

FC

Fibre Channel

FCoE

Fibre Channel over Ethernet. An encapsulation of Fibre Channel frames over
Ethernet networks. This allows Fibre Channel to use 10-gigabit Ethernet networks
(or higher speeds) while preserving the Fibre Channel protocol.

GUI

graphical user interface

HBA

See host bus adapter.

host bus adapter

One or more dedicated adapter cards that are installed in a host, have unique
WWN addresses, and provide Fibre Channel I/O connectivity to storage systems,
typically through Fibre Channel switches. Unlike general-purpose Ethernet
adapters, which handle a multitude of network protocols, host bus adapters are
dedicated to high-speed block transfers for optimized I/O performance.

host group

Custom grouping of hosts that segregates hosts in a meaningful way, for example,
a group of hosts that is segregated by operating system. A host group can be
shared with another virtual port or another physical port for alternate path support.

HSD

Host storage domain. A group used to strengthen the security of volumes in
storage systems. By associating and grouping hosts and volumes by storage
system port, host storage domains can be used to restrict access from hosts to
volumes.
Device Manager defines the host groups set up with the storage system LUN
security function as host storage domains. Host storage domains for storage
systems that do not have host groups are defined in the same manner as if they
had been set with the LUN security function.

HTML

Hypertext Markup Language

HTTP

Hypertext Transfer Protocol

HTTPS

Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure

I/O

input/output

internal volume

A logical volume whose data resides on drives that are physically located within
the storage system.

Internet protocol
(IP)

The protocol that governs the breakup of data messages into packets (units of
data), the routing scheme for transmitting them, and the reassembly of the packets
into the original data messages at the destination. Most networks combine IP
with a higher-level protocol called Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which
establishes a virtual connection between a source and a destination.
