Hot Spare

One or more drives are unused during normal operation and are configured
to be a spare. If an active drive in a SAFE volume fails, the data on the
remaining drive is duplicated onto the Hot Spare to regain redundancy. All
SAFE volumes can have a designated Hot Spare.

V o l u m e

A virtual drive comprised of one or more physical drives. Once the user
creates a volume, the OS uses and maintains the volume as if it were a
single drive. This allows software to overcome size restrictions imposed
by physical drives.

Daemon

Component of the InfoStation RAID Manager responsible for status track-
ing and SAFE volume rebuilds. Refer to section "Manager Client Connec-
tion to the Daemon
" for further information.
