dynamic capacit y
expansion
A storage system feature that provides the ability to increase the size of an
existing virtual disk. Before using this feature, you must ensure that your
operating system supports capacity expansion of a virtual disk (or LUN) .
EIA Electronic Industries Alliance. A standards organization specializing in the
electrical and functional characteristics of interface equipment.
EIP Event Information Packet. The event information packet is an HSV element
hexadecimal character display that defines how an event was d etected. Also
called the EIP type.

or I/O module. The o bject can be controlled, interrogated, or described
by the enclosure servi ces process.
2. In the Open SAN Manager, a controllable object, such as the Enterprise
storage system.
Command View
EV A GUI
The graphical user interface (GUI) through which a user can control and monitor
a storage system. H P Command View EVA can be installed on more than one
storage m a nagement server in a fabric. Each installation is a management
agent. The client for the agent is a standard browser.
EMI Electromagnetic Interference. The impairment of a signal by a n electromagnetic
disturbance.
EMU Environmental Monitoring Unit. An element which monitors the status of an
enclosure, including the power, air temperature, and blower status. The EMU
detects problems and displays and repor ts these conditions to a user a n d the
controller. In some cases, the EMU implements corrective action.
enclosure A unit used to hold various storage system devices such as disk drives,
controllers, power supplies, blo wers, an EMU, I/O modules, or blowers.
enclosure address
bus
An Enterprise storage system b us that interconnects and identifies controller
enclosures and disk drive enclosures by their physical location. Enclosures
within a reporting group can exchange environmental data. This bus uses
enclosure ID expansion cables to assign enclosure numbers to each enclosure.
Communications over this bus do not involve the Fibre Channel drive enclosure
bus and are, therefore, classified as out-of-band communications.
enclosure number
(En)
One of the vertical rack-mounting positions where the enclosure is located.
The positions are numbered sequentially in decimal numbers starting from the
bottom of the cabinet. Each disk enclosure has its own enclosure number. A
controller pair shares an enclosure number. If the system has an expansion rack,
the enclosures in the expansion rack are numbered from 15 to 24, starting
at the bottom.
enclosure services Those services that establish the mechanical environmental, electrical
environmental, and external indicators and controls for the proper operation
and maintenance of devices with an enclosure as described in the SES SCSI-3
Enclosure Services Command Set (SES) , Rev 8b, American National Standard
for I nformation Services.
