Glossary
G
global hot spare
Disk that can replace a failed component in any array on the same
controller, provided that the available capacity is at least equal to
that of the failed component. See also
hot spare
.
H
hard disk
See
disk
.
hot spare
Disk configured to be available to automatically receive
reconstructed data in the event of a drive failure in a redundant
array. See also
rebuild
,
global hot spare
.
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. The array can be made optimal by running a Verify
with Fix Task on it.
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
.
