108 Glossary
Event
A condition that matches a numbered, predefined set of circumstances. The AMC client can be configured
to display events at specified severity levels and to generate traps (also called “event traps”) for specified
occurrences.
Event log
A list of all pre-defined events logged by the AMC server, whether or not the AMC client has been configured
to display these events to the user.
eVPS (extended Virtual Private SAN)
A virtual LUN mapping scheme for Fibre Channel hosts that runs on the SNC. It allows each host to see the
LUN map as if the LUN map began at “1”, subject to an overall device total of 2048, and a per-host device
total of 256.
FC (Fibre Channel)
A high speed data transfer architecture. Using optical fibre to connect devices, Fibre Channel
communications are serial communications that occur at full duplex and achieve data transfer rates of 200
MBps.
Graphical panel
The upper right quadrant of the AMC window, where configuration information is displayed in graphical
format.
Health check
An AMC feature that provides predictive alerts, warning of any loss of connectivity or device failure using
local or remote alerts. Health check allows administrators to correct faults before they
affect backup or other
data transfer operations.
Host initiator
A host bus adapter that provides the host with a Fibre Channel port capable of initiating SCSI commands
at the host’s request.
HRS (Host Registration Service)
Presents host information that the AMC server uses to manage host access and data retrieval. This
information includes host name, host type, host connection and the online or offline status.
I-Platform
Intelligent platform. The i-platform libraries all have integrated management services within intelligent
storage devices designed specifically for operation in a storage network. Libraries in the i-platform series
include the Scalar i2000 and the Pathlight VX.
IP (Internet Protocol)
A protocol that specifies the formats of packets and addresses. Addresses are formulated as dotted quads,
e.g. 123.456.789.123.
LED panel
AMC’s representation of the LED-bearing surface of the SNC, e.g. for the Pathlight 5000, this is the same
as the connector side, for the ADIC 3000 this side is opposite the connector side.
Library
An ADIC tape library product including the Scalar 24, Scalar 100, Scalar 1000, Scalar 10K, and the Scalar
i2000.
Library menu
An AMC menu that appears when a library is right-clicked from either the navigation panel or the graphical
panel.
Library Manager
The Library Manager button launches the library management client for the Scalar i2000 from the AMC
interface.
