Compaq HSZ80 manual GL-10Glossary, Normal member

GL–10Glossary
normal member	A mirrorset member that, block-for-block, contains the same data as other
	normal members within the mirrorset. Read requests from the host are
	always satisfied by normal members.
normalizing	Normalizing is a state in which, block-for-block, data written by the host to a
	mirrorset member is consistent with the data on other normal and
	normalizing members. The normalizing state exists only after a mirrorset is
	initialized.

normalizing memberA mirrorset member whose contents is the same as all other normal and normalizing members for data that has been written since the mirrorset was created or lost cache data was cleared. A normalizing member becomes a normal member when either all of the normal members fail or all of the normal members are removed from the mirrorset. See also copying member.

NVM	Nonvolatile Memory. A type of memory where the contents survive power
	loss. Also referred to as NVMEM.
OCP	Operator Control Panel. The control or indicator panel associated with a
	device. The OCP is usually mounted on the device and is accessible to the
	operator.
other controller	The controller in a dual-redundant pair that is connected to the controller

parallel data	A data communication technique in which more than one code element (for
transmission	example, bit) of each byte is sent or received simultaneously.
parity	A method of checking if binary numbers or characters are correct by
	counting the ONE bits. In odd parity, the total number of ONE bits must be
	odd; in even parity, the total number of ONE bits must be even.
parity bit	A binary digit added to a group of bits that checks to see if errors exist in the
	transmission.
