target
The storage-device endpoint of a SCSI
session. Initiators request data from
targets (usually disk drives, tape drives, or
other media devices). Typically, a SCSI
peripheral device is the target but an
adapter may, in some cases, be a target. A
target can contain many LUNs.
unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI)
A specification detailing an interface that
helps hand off control of the system for the
pre-boot environment (that is, after the
system is powered on, but before the
operating system starts) to an operating
system, such as Windows or Linux. UEFI
provides a clean interface between
operating systems and platform firmware
at boot time, and supports an architec-
ture-independent mechanism for initial-
izing add-in cards.
worldwide node name (WWNN)
Unique 64-bit address assigned to a
device.
worldwide port name (WWPN)
Unique 64-bit address assigned to each

multiple WWPN addresses.
