A policy that determines which service to use in a provisioning policy.
Industry:Software
A policy whose policy target is a business service and whose contract contains one or more assertions that grant permission to run a channel action.
Industry:Software
A pool of devices (called a fence) that is used exclusively by a set of jobs in a specific job class. Using device partitioning, the device usage of an installation can be tailored to its anticipated workload.
Industry:Software
A port on a fibre-channel switch that can function either as a fabric port (F_port) or as an expansion port (E_port). The functionality of a G_port is determined during port login: a G_port functions as an F_port when connected to a node port (N_port) and as an E_port when connected to an E_port.
Industry:Software
A port on a switch. Switch ports can be expansion ports (E_ports), fabric ports (F_ports), or fabric loop ports (FL_ports).
Industry:Software
A port specific to Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL). An NL_port has the same functional, logical, and message handling capability as a node port (N_port), but connects to an arbitrated loop rather than to a fabric. In some implementations, ports can function either as N_ports or as NL_ports depending on the network to which they are connected. An NL_port must replicate frames and pass them on when in passive loop mode. See also arbitrated loop, Nx_port.
Industry:Software
A port that connects a node to a fabric or to another node. An N_port connects to a fabric port (F_port) or to the N_port of another node. An N_port handles creation, detection, and flow of message units to and from the connected systems. N_ports are end points in point-to-point links. See also Nx_port.
Industry:Software
A port used to connect a node to a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL). See also nonparticipating mode, participating mode.
