Terminology Used in this Guide
Because this Guide provides information that can be used to manage
multiple Adaptec RAID products in a variety of configurations from
DAS to SAN, the generic term “storage space” is used to refer to the
controller(s) and disk drives being managed with Adaptec Storage
Manager.
For efficiency, the term “components” or “component” is used when
referring generically to the physical and virtual parts of your storage
space, such as systems, disk drives, controllers, and logical drives.
Many of the terms and concepts referred to in this Guide are known to
computer users by multiple names. In this Guide, this terminology is
used:
●
Controller (also known as adapter, HBA, board, or card)
●
Disk drive (also known as hard disk, hard drive, or hard disk drive)
●
