Pitkowsky, “Structural aspects of the System/360 Model 85,” IBM Systems Journal 7, No. 1, 2–14 (1968).

8. LUN, or logical unit number, is the physical ID of a device in a SCSI chain of devices.
9. RAID 5 offers independent actuators with data and parity spread across all drives, while RAID 10, the result of RAID 1 + RAID 0, offers data striping across several drives that are mirrored by arrays of drives.
10. SSA provides for high-speed access to high-capacity disk storage. In the mid-1990s, SSA was IBM's proposed ANSI standard for a standard high-speed interface to disk clusters and arrays. At that time, SSA allowed full-duplexed packet-multiplexed serial data transfers at rates of 20Mb/sec in each direction. For an in-depth discussion of SSA, see I. D. Judd, P. J. Murfet, and M. J. Palmer, “Serial Storage Architecture,” IBM Journal of Research and Development 40, No. 6, 591–602 (1996).

12. The parallelism also benefits responsiveness by eliminating much of the need for queuing of I/O requests to volumes. Additionally, the distribution of function amongst the ESS components (the host adapter and the SMP) further ensures the best possible response times.
