2. Logical Drive A drive which consists of one or more physical drives mostly hard disks For the operating system all the storage volume available constitutes a single drive Logical Drive Order The order in which at system startup the server s operating system recognizes individual hard disks and other devices connected to the controller LUN Each SCSI device can contain up to eight subdevices A LUN is the number of the logical unit 0 through 7 which has been assigned to this device However generally only one subdevice LUN 0 exists Migration When a logical drive of a RAID type is transferred directly to another type e g from RAID 1 to RAID 0 this is called migration Monitoring The process for ascertaining displaying and logging system events Morphing Process for expanding a logical drive or migrating a logical drive from one RAID type to another This is also understood to mean modifying the stripe size in particular RAID drives or shifting a logical device segment onto another volume Fujitsu Siemens Computers 79 10 Glossary Notification Aid used by the system for communication relating to events that have occurred NVRAM A non volatile memory which can retain information even if the power supply is not maintained This memory is often used on RAID controllers as a memory for the configuration and for error logging Offline The status of a logical or physical drive which can no longer be accessed
3. Show sense log A table with the last n SCSI items of sense information which occurred are displayed SCSI sense information is generally present when a SCSI command has failed and the controller or the disk can supply additional information on why this happened Start consistency check In the case of redundant systems e g RAID 1 RAID 5 RAID 10 this action starts a check of the logical drive The consistency check runs in the background thus enabling you to continue working with the logical drive Depending on how the synchronization procedure has been set on the controller any error that is found is skipped or rectified if possible or the consistency check is stopped and an error message is displayed Note With some controllers the priority of this process can be changed via the Settings tab The following rule applies here The lower the priority the longer the process but this enables you to work better Start device A disk drive is started i e the disk drive is brought up to its standard speed With some high speed disks this can take some time As power consumption is higher when the disks start up not all of them should be started up at once Start initialization A logical drive is initialized Before you write the first user data to a logical drive you should initialize this drive Note Some controllers automatically perform initialization when the logical drive is created This action is not offered for these drives

8. RAID 5 A logical drive with one level consisting of three equal sized segments on different hard disk drives The capacity of one segment is used for parity data which is distributed over all the drives in equal sized sections RAID 10 A logical drive Two equal sized RAID 1s are used to create a RAID 10 RAID 10 thus needs four physical drives RAID 50 A logical drive Two equal sized RAID 5s are used to create a RAID 50 RAID 50 thus needs six physical drives Reconfiguration See Migration Redundancy Redundancy is the general term to describe the additional existence of resources which are functionally identical or comparable if these are not normally required when operation is error free Here redundancy is used to manage data in a system with the aim of automatically replacing failed components by operational ones For example logical drives of the type RAID 5 are redundant because the surviving members can combine to replace the data of a failed component Replacement See Hot Spare SAF TE SCSI Accessed Fault Tolerant Enclosure SAS Serial Attached SCSI is to replace the current parallel SCSI interface because the Terminators which are typical for SCSI are not required for SAS SAS takes over the SATA connections SATA devices can be used on SAS but not vice versa SATA Serial ATA is a successor to ATA which transfers data serially instead of in parallel SCSI Small Computer System Interface is a pa
9. Warning Initialization destroys all user data on the logical drive Start MDC A consistency check takes place and if it is possible to rectify any inconsistency which is found this is done automatically Make Data Consistent Start Patrol Read A Patrol Read process is started on a hard disk drive In this case restricted access is still possible to the drive Patrol Read examines the drive s interface for errors If an error is detected which cannot be rectified automatically this error is logged The faulty part of the medium is assigned to the defective blocks With some controllers the hard disk is automatically taken out of service if multiple errors are found This error check is not supported by every controller but some controllers provide the option of performing a check automatically at freely selectable intervals Start rebuild In the case of critical logical drives of the type RAID 1 RAID 5 or RAID 10 this action starts rebuilding the logical drive Generally the failed physical drive is automatically replaced by a hot spare drive and a rebuild is subsequently started automatically provided this is set on the controller The action runs in the background and as long as no further physical drive fails it is still possible to work with the logical drive Note With some controllers the priority of this process can be changed via the Settings tab The following rule applies here The lower the priority the longer the process
