(See also: host LU, host device name)

host device name

A name assigned to a host device. A name of the logical device file for an HDLM device

is assigned to a host device name.

A host device name is assigned using the cUtXdY format.

The variables used in cUtXdY indicate the following:

U: Controller number reserved by HDLM

X: Target ID or World Wide Name of the sd or ssd device for the HDLM device

Y: LUN of the sd or ssd device for the HDLM device

(See also: host device)

host LU

I

intermittent error

An error that occurs irregularly due to, for example, a loose cable connection.

L

LDEV (Logical Device)

A combination of the storage system's product name, serial number, and an internal LU.

HDLM uses this value to identify a particular LU.

load balancing

A function for distributing the load across multiple paths that access an area within an

LU. To distribute the load, load balancing uses multiple paths to perform I/O operations.

The following six types of algorithms are available:

- The Round Robin algorithm

- The Extended Round Robin algorithm

- The Least I/Os algorithm

- The Extended Least I/Os algorithm
