Glossary
Online
For the PSFR-CP41, online indicates that at least one adapter in the PSFR-
CP41 is active and available for access.
For a SCSI adapter, online indicates the SCSI adapter is active and available
for access and input/output processing.
For a FC adapter, online indicates the FC adapter is active and available for
access and input/output processing.
Originator
The Fibre Channel N_Port responsible for starting an exchange. A FC origi-
nator is comparable to a SCSI initiator.
Point-to-Point
One of three existing FC topologies, in which two ports are directly
connected by a link with no fabric, loop, or switching elements present. The
PSFR-CP41 supports all topologies.
Port Name
A field value under the FC Status Menu; the FC port identifier; a 64-bit value
the factory assigns to each FC adapter.
POST
See Power On Self Test.
Power On Self Test (POST)
A group of tests run when the PSFR-CP41 is powered on.
Processor
Contains the arithmetic and logic, control, and internal memory units that
control the PSFR-CP41.
Reset SCSI
For a specific SCSI bus, the host clears all inputs and outputs and then
resets the bus and all the devices connected to it.
Responder
The logical function in an N_Port responsible for supporting the exchange
initiated by the originator in another N_Port. A FC responder is comparable
to a SCSI target. The PSFR-CP41 is often the responder.
