Glossary
storage system
A storage system is when the RAID controller resides outside of
the host system enclosure. The subsystem is controlled from the
host system using storage management software or firmware
(such as Adaptec Disk Array Administrator). Since the controller is
accessed using standard SCSI protocols, the need for specific OS
drivers is eliminated. Some external RAID controllers can be
configured with single or dual host channels and can support
either standalone mode, or as an active-active failover pair. See also
active-active.
stripe set (RAID 0)
An array type that is made up of two or more equal-sized
partitions that reside on different disk drives. The stripe set
distributes, or stripes, data evenly across its respective disk drives
in equal-sized sections called chunks. See also chunk; partition.
stripe set of mirror sets (RAID 0/1)
An array type that is made up of two or more equal-sized mirror
sets. The data in a stripe set of mirror sets is redundant. See also
mirror set (RAID 1); multilevel array.
stripe set of RAID 5 sets (RAID 50)
An array type that is made up of two or more equal-sized RAID 5
sets. The data in a stripe set of RAID 5 sets is redundant. See also
RAID 5; multilevel array.
stripe size
Amount of data written to one partition before the controller
moves to the next partition in a stripe set.
T
target
A target is a device (peripheral) that responds to an operation
requested by an initiator (host system). See also initiator.
target ID
See SCSI ID.
