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
Array
Identifier
(SAI
or
SA
Identifier).
The
Storage

Identifier
is
the
identification
value
used
by
the
DS4000
Storage
Manager
host
software
(SMClient)
to
uniquely
identify
each
managed
storage
server.
The
DS4000
Storage
Manager
SMClient
program
maintains

records
of
previously-discovered
storage
servers
in
the
host

which
allows
it
to
retain

in
a
