Hot Spare
One or more drives are unused during normal operation and are configured
to be a spare. If an active drive in a SAFE volume fails, the data on the
remaining drive is duplicated onto the Hot Spare to regain redundancy. All
SAFE volumes can have a designated Hot Spare.
V o l u m e
A virtual drive comprised of one or more physical drives. Once the user
creates a volume, the OS uses and maintains the volume as if it were a
single drive. This allows software to overcome size restrictions imposed
by physical drives.
Daemon
Component of the InfoStation RAID Manager responsible for status track-
ing and SAFE volume rebuilds. Refer to section "Manager Client Connec-
tion to the Daemon" for further information.
