Command Line Interface For example, port 5 is 0:5:0; port 12 is 1:4:0. All Controllers The following terms are used in discussing the CLI: ■ Array, container-A logical disk created from available space and made up of one or more partitions on one or more physical disks. ■ Stripe, chunk-Contiguous set of data distributed across all the disks in an array. A striped array distributes data evenly across all members in equal-sized sections called stripes. ■ Free or available space-Space on an initialized disk that is not in use. ■ Partition-Contiguous area of a physical drive that makes up some or all of an array. ■ Hotspare, failover disk-A hard drive, an array member, that is not used in day-to-day data storage, but is instead reserved for use as a replacement for one of the other drives in the array in the event of a failure. Additional RAID terms are defined in the Glossary. D-3

The following terms are used in discussing the CLI:
■
Array, container
—A logical disk created from available space
and made up of one or more partitions on one or more physical
disks.
■
Stripe, chunk
—Contiguous set of data distributed across all the
disks in an array. A striped array distributes data evenly across
all members in equal-sized sections called
stripes
.
■
Free or available space
—Space on an initialized disk that is not
in use.
■
Partition
—Contiguous area of a physical drive that makes up
some or all of an array.
■
Hotspare, failover disk
—A hard drive, an array member, that is
not used in day-to-day data storage, but is instead reserved for
use as a replacement for one of the other drives in the array in
the event of a failure.
