server/device events
Events that occur on the server or a
designated device that meet criteria that
the user sets.
SFP See small form-factor pluggable .
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
In the Internet suite of protocols, a
network management protocol that is
used to monitor routers and attached
networks. SNMP is an application layer
protocol. Information on devices managed
is defined and stored in the application's
Management Information Base (MIB).
SL_port
See segmented loop port .
SMagent
The DCS3860 Storage Manager optional
Java-based host-agent software, which can
be used on Microsoft Windows, Novell
NetWare, AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and Linux
on POWER
®
host systems to manage
storage systems through the host
fibre-channel connection.
SMclient
The DCS3860 Storage Manager client
software, which is a Java-based graphical
user interface (GUI) that is used to
configure, manage, and troubleshoot
storage servers and storage expansion
enclosures in a DCS3860 storage system.
SMclient can be used on a host system or
on a storage management station.
SMruntime
A Java compiler for the SMclient.
SMutil
The DCS3860 Storage Manager utility
software that is used on Microsoft
Windows, AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and Linux
on POWER host systems to register and
map new logical drives to the operating
system. In Microsoft Windows, it also
contains a utility to flush the cached data
of the operating system for a particular
drive before creating a FlashCopy.
small computer system interface (SCSI)
A standard hardware interface that
enables a variety of peripheral devices to
communicate with one another.
small form-factor pluggable (SFP)
An optical transceiver that is used to
convert signals between optical fiber
cables and switches. An SFP is smaller
than a gigabit interface converter (GBIC).

gigabit interface converter .
SNMP
See Simple Network Management Protocol
and SNMPv1 .
SNMP trap event
An event notification sent by the SNMP
agent that identifies conditions, such as
thresholds, that exceed a predetermined
value. See also
Simple Network
Management Protocol .
SNMPv1
The original standard for SNMP is now
referred to as SNMPv1, as opposed to
SNMPv2, a revision of SNMP. See also
Simple Network Management Protocol .
SRAM
See static random access memory .
SSA See serial storage architecture .
static random access memory (SRAM)
Random access memory based on the
logic circuit know as flip-flop. It is called
static because it retains a value as long as
power is supplied, unlike dynamic
random access memory (DRAM), which
must be regularly refreshed. It is however,
still volatile, meaning that it can lose its
contents when the power is turned off.
storage area network (SAN)
A dedicated storage network tailored to a
specific environment, combining servers,
storage products, networking products,
software, and services. See also
fabric .
Storage Array Identifier (SAI or SA Identifier)
The Storage Array Identifier is the
identification value used by the DCS3860
Storage Manager host software (SMClient)
to uniquely identify each managed
storage server. The DCS3860 Storage
Manager SMClient program maintains
Storage Array Identifier records of
previously-discovered storage servers in
the host resident file, which allows it to
retain discovery information in a
persistent fashion.
storage expansion enclosure (EXP)
A feature that can be connected to a
system unit to provide additional storage
and processing capacity.
