Fibre Channel The National Committee for Information Technology Standards standard that
defines an ultrahigh-speed, content-independent, multilevel data transmission
interface that supports multiple protocols simultaneously. Fibre Channel
supports connectivity to millions of devices over copper and/or fiber-optic
physical media and provides the best characteristics of both networks and
channels over diverse topologies.
fibre connection
(FICON) An ESA/390 and zSeries computer peripheral interface. The I/O interface uses
ESA/390 and zSeries FICON protocols (FC-FS and FC-SB-2) over a Fibre
Channel serial interface that configures units attached to a FICON-supported
Fibre Channel communications fabric.
FICON channel A channel having a Fibre Channel connection (FICON) channel-to-control-unit
I/O interface that uses optical cables as a transmission medium. May operate in
either FC or FCV mode.
file-protect To prevent the erasure or overwriting of data stored on data cartridges. See also
write-protect switch.
FRU Field replaceable unit.
FSC Fault symptom code.
FTP File Transfer Protocol.
G
Gb Gigabit, equal to 10
9
bits.
Gbps Gigabits per second.
gigabyte (GB) One billion (10
9
) bytes. When referring to disk and tape capacity, one GB equals
1,000,000,000 bytes.
When referring to memory capacity, one GB equals 1,073,741,824 in decimal
notation or 2
30
bytes.
H
hardware All or part of the physical components of an information processing system,
such as computers or peripheral devices. (T) (A)
hub A Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop switching device that allows multiple servers
and targets, such as storage systems, to connect at a central point. A single hub
configuration appears as a single loop.
