3BM.
3ware BIOS Manager. The 3ware BIOS (Basic Input Output
System) manager is a basic interface used to view, maintain, and manage
3ware controllers, disks, and units, without having to boot the operating
system. It is available for download from ww.3warecom/downloads as
part of the firmware image. For 9000 Linux and FreeBSD users, it is
included in the driver.
3DM.
3ware Disk Manager. The 3ware disk manager is a web-based
graphical user interface that can be used to view, maintain, and manage
3ware controllers, disks, and units. It is available for download from
ww.3ware.com/downloads.
A-Chip
. AccerATA chip. Automated data port to handle asynchronous
ATA disk drive interface.
Array.
One or more disk drives that appear to the operating system as a
single unit. Within 3ware software (3BM and 3DM) arrays are typically
referred to as units.
Array Roaming.
The process of swapping out or adding in a configured
unit without having to shut down the system. This is useful if you need to
move the unit to another controller.
Background rebuild rate
. The rate at which a particular controller
initializes, rebuilds, and verifies redundant units (RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID
10, RAID 50).
CLI
. Command Line Interface. The 3ware CLI is a text program, rather
than a GUI (graphical user interface), for Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD.
It has the same functionality as 3DM, and can be used to view, maintain,
and manage 3ware controllers, disks, and units.
Configuration
. The RAID level set for a unit.
