Redundant Array
of Independent
Disks
A data storage scheme that allows data to be stored and replicated in a
hardware disk group (logical hard disk) consisting of multiple hard disks
(physical hard disks). When multiple physical disks are set up to use the
RAID technique, they are said to be in a RAID array. The hard disks in
a RAID array provides higher data reliability and input/output
performance.
Redundant copy
When the system monitors that a member disk in the RAID groups is
about to fail, the system copies the data in the disk to a hot-spare disk.
This technology is called redundant copy.
Relocate
Files are moved between storage tiers according to a specific policy.
Repair
inconsistent stripe
To correct the invalid protection of the check data block in a redundancy
group stripe for the protected space in the stripe.
S
Script
A collection of data statements used to perform an operation.
Secondary
controller
(1) A controller that backs up service and management data of the
primary controller in a clustered system. When the primary controller
fails, the secondary controller is upgraded to the primary controller and
takes over the management and services of the controller enclosure. (2)
A controller that backs up the management data of the primary controller
in a block-level array. When the primary controller fails, the secondary
controller is upgraded to the primary controller and takes over the
management of the system.
Serial port
An input/output location (channel) that sends and receives data to and
from a computer's CPU or a communications device one bit at a time.
Serial ports are used for serial data communication and as interfaces
with some peripheral devices, such as mouse and printers.
Service data
Data that is saved in data disks. Service data is the data source for
computing check data in parity disks.
SFP optical
module
A component that can make data conversion between optical signals
and electrical signals and that can receive and transmit data.
Simple network
management
protocol (SNMP)
An internet engineering task force (IETF) protocol used to monitor and
manage the systems and devices on a network. The monitored and
managed data is defined by the management information base (MIB).
The protocol supports the following functions: data request, data
retrieval, data setting or data writing, and traps.
Single point
failure
Since some components or channels are not redundant, the failure of a
device or component causes the breakdown of all devices or
components.
Smooth expansion
A process of expanding capacity online without interrupting services.
