Glossary
foreign disk
Disk that has previously been initialized on another Adaptec RAID
controller. The RAID signature on the disk allows the RAID
controller to identify whether or not the disk was initialized on the
controller it is currently connected to.
H
hard disk drive
Basic unit of nonvolatile, nonremovable, magnetic storage media.
See also
disk
.
hot swap
To remove a component from a system and install a new
component while the power is on and the system is running.
I
impacted
An impacted array is one which has been created but for some
reason the initial build operation did not complete. All member
drives are present and operational, and all data written to the array
is protected. To optimize the array, run a Verify with Fix Task.
initialize
Process of preparing a disk for use by the controller. When a disk is
initialized, the controller records the RAID signature on the disk.
initialized array
An array that is ready for data reads and writes. Arrays can be
initialized by
build
or
clear
.
L
legacy disk
Disk that contained a valid partition table when connected to the
controller. The controller manages the disk as a legacy disk array
where there is a one-to-one logical-to-physical mapping of array to
disk.
