HBA

Host Bus Adapter. A circuit board and/or integrated circuit adapter

installed in a workstation or server that provides input/output

processing and physical connectivity between a server and a storage

device. An iSCSI HBA implements the iSCSI and TCP/IP protocols in a

combination of a software storage driver and hardware.

HDD

Hard disk drive.

Initiator

A system component that originates an I/O command over an I/O bus

or network, such as an I/O adapters or network interface cards.

I/O

Input/output.

Internet Protocol. Specifies the format of packets and addressing

scheme. Most networks combine IP with a higher-level protocol called

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which establishes a virtual

connection between a destination and a source.

IP address

An identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks

using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of

the destination. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric

address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number

can be zero to 255 (for example, 192.168.0.200). The current main

address is IPv4 (Internet Protocol Address Version 4) and the next-

generation address is IPv6 (Internet Protocol address Version 6).

IP-SAN

Block-level Storage Area Networks over TCP/IP using the iSCSI

protocol.

iSCSI

Internet SCSI. An IP-based standard for connecting data storage

devices over a network and transferring data using SCSI commands

over IP networks. iSCSI enables a Storage Area Network to be

deployed in a Local Area Network.
