host LU number

A number assigned to a host LU. The host LU number is part of a path name.

(See also: host LU, path name)

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 all the paths that are accessing the logical

areas within an LU. To distribute the load, load balancing uses multiple paths to perform

I/O operations.

HDLM uses the following six algorithms for load balancing:

- The Round Robin algorithm

- The Extended Round Robin algorithm

- The Least I/Os algorithm

- The Extended Least I/Os algorithm

- The Least Blocks algorithm

- The Extended Least Blocks algorithm

logical device file

/dev/hdiskn, and /dev/rhdiskn. A logical device of this term is not an LDEV. The

logical device file name can be changed by using the rendev command.

LU (Logical Unit)

A logical unit that is a logical volume defined in the storage system, and with which the

host can perform input or output operations.

(See also: host LU)

N

node

A server in a cluster.

non-owner controller

A controller other than an owner controller.
