SCSI Small Computer Systems Interface. In the early 1980s, SCSI was the standard
direct-attach storage interface to SCSI-enabled disks. As computer systems
increased in speed and data storage needs increased, the parallel bus
architecture of SCSI began hitting performance and distance limits. In
response to this need, FC was introduced to provide gigabit-speed serial
networking capabilities for storage.
Server Profile One instance of a server I/O configuration that is assignable to a single
physical server through an IB port.
State Displayed in Oracle Fabric Manager and the CLI as a pair of statuses, for
example: up/up. The first is the Admin State while the second is the Oper
State. When using SNMP or the Java Apes, these statuses are returned
individually.
T
TSO TCP Segmentation Offload (also called large segmentation offload, or
LSO).
U
User An internal or external representation of a person. Users either exist locally
or remotely via LDAP, Active Directory, or RADIUS. By default, an “admin”
user is created locally.
V
vHBA Virtual Host Bus Adapter - A Fibre Channel Storage connection, provided
without a physical HBA.
VLAN Virtual Local Area Network - A private, independent, logical networks that
are created within a physical network. A VLAN behaves like an ordinary
