SANavigator
SANavigator management software provides easy, centralized
management of a SAN and quick access to all device configuration
applications.
SAN ID
A number between 0 and 4,294,967,295 that uniquely identifies an
mSAN.
SANpilot interface
The interface provides a graphical user interface (GUI) similar to the
Product Manager application, and supports director or switch
configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operations. With
director or switch firmware installed, administrators or operators
with a browser-capable personal computer (PC) and an Internet
connection can monitor and manage the director or switch through
the SANpilot interface.
SANpilot interface
timeout
If the SANpilot interface is running but no user activity occurs, (such
as viewing different pages, refreshing, or reconfiguring information),
the application times out after 30 minutes. The user must log in again.
A login dialog box displays if the user attempts to access any pages
after the timeout has occurred.
SANpilot interface

The window for the SANpilot interface. The window is divided into
two separate panels: the navigation panel on the left, and the main
panel on the right.
SAN Router cluster ID
The R_Port SAN routing cluster ID is used by the SAN Router
R_Ports to register a unique virtual node WWN to the connected
fabrics. Third-party management applications use this WWN to
manage the SAN Router.
SAN Router time zone
The Simple Network Transfer Protocol (SNTP) server’s time zone that
is configured in the Element Manager
Date/Time
dialog box. This
allows SNTP clients to adjust the time to their local time zone as
needed.

System Automation for Operating System/390 .
scalable
Refers to how well a system can adapt to increased demands. For
example, a scalable network system could start with just a few nodes
but easily expands to thousands of nodes. Scalability is important
because it allows the user to invest in a system with confidence that a
business will not outgrow it. Refers to anything whose size can be
changed.
