logon Also called login, it is a procedure whereby a user or network connection is
identied as being an authorized network user or participant.
loop See arbitrated loop.
loop ID Seven-bit values numbered contiguously from 0 to 126 decimal and represent
the 127 valid AL_PA values on a loop (not all 256 hexadecimal values are
allowed as AL_PA values per Fibre Channel).
loop pair A Fibre Channel attachment between a controller and physical disk drives.
Physical disk drives connect to controllers through paired Fibre Channel
arbitrated loops. There a re t wo loop pairs, designated loop pair 1 and loop
pair 2. Each loop pair consists of two loops (called loop A and loop B) that
operate independently during normal operation, but provide mutual backup
in case one loop fails.
LTEA Last Termination Event Array. A two-digit HSV Contr oller number that identies a
specic event that terminated an operation. Valid numbers range from 00 to 31.
LUN Logical Unit Number. A SCSI convention used to identify elements. The host
sees a virtual disk as a LUN. The LUN address a user assigns to a virtual disk for
a par ticular host will be the LUN at which that host will see the virtual disk.

mean time be-

See MTBF.
Mega A notation denoting a multiplier of 1 million (1,000,000).
metadata Information that a controller pair writes on the disk array. This i nformation is
used to control and monitor the array and is not readable by the host.
micro meter See µm.
mirrored caching A process in which half of each controller’s write cache mirrors the companion
controller’s write cache. The total memory available for cached write data is
reduced by half, but the level of protection is greater.
mirroring The act of creating an exact copy or image of data.
MTBF Mean Time B et ween Failures. The average time from start of use to rst failure in
a large po pulation of identical systems, components, or devices.
