dynamic capac it 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 detected. Also
called the EIP type.

element 1. In a drive enclosure, a device such as an EMU, power supply, disk, blower,
or I/O m o d ule. The object can be controlled, interrogated, or described
by the enclosure services 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. HP Command View EVA can be installed on more than one
storage management server in a fabric. Each installation is a management
agent. The client for the agent is a standard browser.
EMI Electromagnetic Inter ference. The impairment of a signal by an ele ctromagnetic
disturbance.
EMU Environmental Monitoring Unit. An element which monitors the status of a n
enclosure, including the power, air temperature, and blower status. The EMU
detects problems and displays and reports these conditions to a user and the
controller. In some cases, the EMU implem ents corrective action.
enclosure A unit used to hold various storage system devices such as disk drives,
controllers, p ower supplies, blowers, an EM U, I/O modules, or blowers.
enclosure address
bus
An Enterprise storage system bus that interconnects and identifies controller
enclosures and disk drive enclosures by their p hysical location. Enclosures
within a reporting group can exchange environmenta l data. This bus uses
enclosure I D 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-ba n d 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, star ting
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 Information Services.
