HBA address rename setup service
The service that starts managed servers that use HBA address rename in the event of failure of the admin server.
I/O virtualization technology that enables changing of the actual WWN possessed by an HBA.
A definition of the server HBA that is set for the CA port of the storage device and the accessible area of storage.
It is a function for association of the Logical Volume inside the storage which is shown to the host (HBA) that also functions as security internal to the storage device.
Virtualization software from Microsoft Corporation.
Provides a virtualized infrastructure on PC servers, enabling flexible management of operations.
An optional product that is necessary to provide I/O virtualization.
The WWNN address and MAC address provided is guaranteed by Fujitsu Limited to be unique.
Necessary when using HBA address rename.
One of operation modes used for PRIMERGY switch blades.
