Glossary
Reliability
A RAS attribute that is designed to prevent failure of a storage solution. See also
RAS
.
Remote server
An instance of the AMC server that is distinct from the server embedded in the MCB.
RMU (Remote Management Unit)
A combination of software, firmware, and hardware (that installs in the Control Module), that provides
remote operator access to monitor library operations. Not all libraries have a RMU.
SAN (Storage Area Network)
A dedicated network that connects storage devices and servers in a pool, providing consolidated storage
and storage management. Storage interconnects between many initiators and target devices. The SAN
allows for sharing resources (target devices) among multiple servers (initiators).
SCSI (Small Computer System Interface)
A set of standards for a high-speed, parallel interface that connects processing devices to peripheral
devices, such as storage subsystems. The acronym is pronounced "scuzzy."
SCSI channel menu
An AMC menu that allows the user to configure the SCSI channel parameters for a SNC. It appears when
a SCSI channel is right-clicked from either the tree panel or the graphical panel.
Serviceability
A RAS attribute that refers to a component that is designed to accurately diagnose and report failures, as
well as minimize downtime in a storage solution. See also
RAS
.
SFM (Scalar Firewall Manager)
A virtual LUN mapping scheme for Fibre Channel hosts, allowing an overall LUN total of 2048 devices to be
virtually remapped on a SAN-wide basis.
Sled

UDS
.
SNC (Storage Network Controller)
Term for a storage networking appliance. The SNC enables high performance, networked communications
that support intelligence functionality within the Scalar storage system. For the Scalar i2000, SNC functions
are carried out by the MCB.
SNC menu
An AMC menu that allows the user to configure the appliance parameters for a SNC. The SNC menu
appears when a SNC is right-clicked from either the tree panel or the graphical panel.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
The protocol governing network management and the monitoring of network devices and their functions.
Similar in function to SAM, except SNMP governs LAN, whereas SAM governs SAN.
Status/Message area
The bottom of the AMC window, where event traps and other messages are posted.
Target ID
SCSI bus address. See also
LUN
.
Trap
An SNMP alert that is sent when predefined conditions are met. For example, an error trap tests for an error
condition and provides a recovery routine.
View
In AMC, a named graphical representation of a portal, generally one that has been saved to preserve a
particular categorization.
