Glossary-1

The board that interfaces between the 
host system and the target devices. 
Adapter is synonymous with host bus 
adapter (HBA), host adapter, and adapter 
board.

A port on the adapter board.

Command line interface. A program inter-
face driven by entering commands and 
parameters.

QLogic Converged Network Adapters. 
support both data networking (TCP/IP) 
and storage networking (Fibre Channel) 
traffic on a single I/O adapter using two 
new technologies: 

 and 

Fibre Channel over Ethernet (

A 

, typically a disk drive. Hardware 

such as a disk drive, tape drive, printer, or 
keyboard that is installed in or connected 
to a system. In Fibre Channel, a target 
device.

The software that interfaces between the 
file system and a physical data storage 
device or network media.

Also called data center Ethernet or 
converged enhanced Ethernet. Refers to 
new enhancements to the existing 
Ethernet standard that eliminate Ethernet’s 
inherently lossy nature and make 10Gb 
Ethernet a viable storage networking 
transport.

The most widely used LAN technology that 
transmits information between computer, 
typically at speeds of 10 and 100 million 
bits per second (Mbps).

Enhanced Transition Services (ETS) 
controls the actual bandwidth allocation at 
the network port. The bandwidth allocation 
under ETS is typically 50 percent for FCoE 
traffic and 50 percent for Non-FCoE traffic 
(NIC + iSCSI). This means that NPAR QoS 
allocations among the NIC partitions for a 
given port, allocate a percentage of the 
Non-FCoE portion of the bandwidth.
