Introduction I Stripe, chunk-Contiguous set of data distributed across all the disks in an array. A striped array distributes data evenly across all members in equal-sized sections called stripes. I Free or available space-Space on an initialized disk that is not in use. I Partition-Contiguous area of a physical drive that makes up some or all of an array. I Hotspare, failover disk-A hard drive, an array member, that is not used in day-to-day data storage, but is instead reserved for use as a replacement for one of the other drives in the array in the event of a failure. Conventions This section discusses conventions important to the interface. I Case sensitivity-CLI syntax elements are not case-sensitive except for strings. I Command abbreviations-You can abbreviate commands, subcommands, and switches. You must provide enough characters so the commands are not ambiguous. I Subcommand Mode-Subcommand mode simplifies command entry when you are performing repetitive commands on the same item. Subcommand mode works only for commands that have one or more subcommands. To enter subcommand mode, type the first part of any command that has subcommands and press Enter. The command you entered replaces the CLI> prompt and becomes the first part of any subsequent command you enter. For example, to use subcommand mode for the array command: 1 Type array at the CLI> prompt, and press Enter. The CLI> prompt changes to _array >. 2 Enter valid subcommands, switches, and parameters for any array command and press Enter. For example, to change the number of array 1 to 2, simply type the following at the _array > prompt and press Enter: move 1 2 1-4
