StorageWorks building block
See SBB.
subsystem array strategy
A strategy, including packaging, devices, and array controllers, that
provides an integrated storage subsystem solution.
supported device
(1) A device that has been fully evaluated in an “approved” StorageWorks
configuration (that is, shelf, cabinet, power supply, cabling, and so forth)
and is in complete compliance with country-specific standards (for example,
FCC, CE-Mark, CSA, TÜV, VDE, and so forth) and with all DIGITAL
standards. (2) A device supported by an array controller or host operating
system.
target
A SCSI device that performs an operation requested by an initiator.
target ID
See SCSI device ID.
terminators
The interconnect components that form the ends of the transmission lines in
bus segments. A SCSI domain must have at least one segment and therefore
at least two terminators. The terminators ensure that inactive SCSI bus
signals are in a known state.
There are two basic types of terminators–active and passive.
•
Single-ended bus segments use active, linear terminators
•
Differential bus segments use a passive (linear totem pole) terminators
except for special cases where the electrical transmission lines are very
short and only one termination or pull–up is required.
terminator connector
Any connectors physically part of a terminator. It is not uncommon for
terminators to have both stub and bus–path connectors.
