reboots the system, and pages (if a modem is installed in the server).

In-band

Refers to the capacity to deliver information through existing network hardware. Synonymous

with “on the network.”

Logical Drive

Multiple physical drives connected in a HP Drive Array to the same controller and combined to

create logical drives. All available physical drive capacity is used by the logical drive as if it

were a larger drive subsystem. By combining several physical drives, special fault tolerance

and performance features can be used.
