Coffer disk
Physical storage media. It refers to the hard disks in slots 0 to 3 of the
controller enclosure.
Connected LUN
Logically consecutive LUNs are connected through connecting
multiple LUN space.
Consistency check
LUN consistency check is an advanced maintenance function of the
controller. Through the consistency check, the controller can check the
consistency of data on arrays in advance, that is, the validity and
integrity of data.
Constant prefetch
A cache prefetch strategy. The size of the data to be prefetched is the
size as set. This strategy applies to the applications that require reading
data of a fixed size in a certain order. An example is the streaming media
demanded by multiple subscribers who use the same bit rate.
Controller
enclosure
It is the core component of the OceanStor storage system, and is mainly
responsible for the storage service. A controller enclosure consists of
the controller, hard disk, interface card, power entry module (PEM)/fan
module, battery, and dual in-line package (DIP) switch board.
Conversion board
A circuit board in the OceanStor storage system for the conversion of
disks ports.
Create RAID
group
To organize free disks into a RAID group with a certain RAID level.
Created
