HP 6-Port SATA RAID manual Or concatenated, multiple regions of the same disk, Single-level array

redundant	The ability of an array to maintain operability when one or more hardware failures occur.
	RAID 1 array is an example of a redundant array. In the event of a drive failure, redundant
	arrays can be restored to normal operation by replacing the failed drive and rebuilding the
	array.
rescan	Process of updating the current screen to show all currently available resources.
segment	Disk drive or portion of a disk drive used to create a logical device. A disk can include RAID
	segments and available segments. A RAID segment is part of a logical device; it can be used
	by only one logical device at a time. Available segments can be used to define a new logical
	device. If the disk is not part of any logical device, the entire disk is an available segment.
serial ATA (SATA)	A successor to ATA that uses a serial, instead of parallel, interface.
simple volume	A volume made up of disk space from a single disk. It can consist of a single region on a disk
	or concatenated, multiple regions of the same disk.
single-level array	Array created from one or more partitions. See also volume, spanned volume, RAID signature,
	and “RAID 1” on page 18.
spanned volume	A simple volume that spans two or more drives.
spare	See hotspare.
stripe	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.
stripe size	The amount of data in each section of a striped array.
striped array	See RAID signature and “RAID 5” on page 18.
task	An operation that occurs only on the RAID controller, asynchronous to all other operations; for
	example, initializing a disk or verifying an array. Some tasks can take an extended period of
	time, particularly if the RAID controller is also performing intensive data I/O while the task is
	running.
verify	See consistency check command.
volume	See simple volume and spanned volume.
