Terminology
3ware SATA+SAS RAID Controller Card CLI Guide, Version 10.2 uses the
following terminology:
Logical Units.
This term is usually shortened to units. These are block
devices presented to the operating system. A logical unit can be a one-tier,
two-tier, or three-tier arrangement. Spare and Single logical units are
examples of one-tier units. RAID 1 and RAID 5 are examples of two-tier units
and as such have subunits. RAID 10 and RAID 50 are examples of three-tier
units and, as such, have sub-subunits.
Port.
3ware controller models prior to and including the 9650SE series have
one or many ports (typically 4, 8, 12, 16, or 24). You can attach each port to a
single disk drive. On a controller such as the 9650SE with a multilane serial
port connector, one connector supports four ports. On 9750 and 9690SA
series controllers, connections are made with phys and vports (virtual port).
