foreign disk
Disk that has previously been configured on another Adaptec
HostRAID controller. The RAID signature on the disk allows the
HostRAID controller to identify whether or not the disk was configured
on the controller it is currently connected to.
free space/partition
See available space/partition .
H
hard disk, hard disk drive
Basic unit of nonvolatile, nonremovable, magnetic storage media. See
also
drive .
hot swap
To remove a component from a system and install a new component
while the power is on and the system is running.
hotspare
A hard disk drive, an array member, that is not used in day-to-day data
storage but, instead, is reserved for use as a replacement for one of the
other drives in the array in the event of a failure.
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.
L
legacy disk
Disk that contained a valid partition table when connected to the
HostRAID controller. The HostRAID controller manages the disk as a
legacy disk array where there is a one-to-one logical-to-physical
mapping of array to disk.
