iSCSI
Internet small computer system interface.
Protocol that encapsulates data into IP
packets to send over Ethernet connec-
tions.
iSNS
Internet simple name service. Allows
automated discovery, management, and
configuration of iSCSI and Fibre Channel
devices (using iFCP gateways) on a
TCP/IP network.
link layer discovery protocol
See LLDP.
LIP
Loop initialization process. The initializa-
tion process in an arbitrated loop that
occurs when the loop is powered up or a
new device is added. One function of a LIP
is to assign addresses. All data transmis-
sion on the loop is suspended during a LIP.
LLDP
Link layer discovery protocol. A
vendor-neutral Layer 2 protocol that allows
a network device to advertise its identity
and capabilities on the local network. This
protocol supersedes proprietary protocols
like Cisco Discovery Protocol, Extreme
Discovery Protocol, and Nortel Discovery
Protocol (also known as SONMP).
Information gathered with LLDP is stored
in the device and can be queried using
SNMP. The topology of a LLDP-enabled
network can be discovered by crawling the
hosts and querying this database.
logical unit number
See LUN.
loop initialization process
See LIP.
loopback test
Diagnostic tool that routes transmit data
through a loopback connector back to the
same adapter.
LUN
Logical unit number, a subdivision of a
SCSI target. It is the small integer handle
that differentiates an individual disk drive
or partition (volume) within a common
SCSI target device such as a disk array.
Technically, a LUN can be a single
physical disk drive, multiple physical disk
drives, or a portion (volume) of a single
physical disk drive. However, LUNs are
typically not entire disk drives but rather
virtual partitions (volumes) of a RAID set.
Using LUNs, the Fibre Channel host can
address multiple peripheral devices that
may share a common controller.
management workstation
PC workstation used to manage routers
remotely by connecting to the routers
using QConvergeConsole CLI or CLI
commands.
message passing interface
See MPI.
message signaled interrupts
See MSI.
MPI
Message passing interface. A standard
used for writing parallel processing high
performance computing (HPC) applica-
tions using the MPI message-passing API
standard. The MPI API is used by many
computational applications, and many
other commercial and customer-devel-
oped applications.
