NetMAXFAQ : Volumes :
Define terms used below in "Volume Messages" (also see the Glossary in the QuickStart Guide).
Applies to: NetMAX FreeBSD Bld475
NetMAX Linux 2.0.37 - 4.0xaddress-suppressedRebuild a volume - This is the process of piecing together parts of the volume, from different disk locations, into readable form. Every volume is rebuilt each time the NetMAX is rebooted.
Mount a volume - The process of mounting makes the volume accessible to the user.
Transferred hard disk - A hard disk is transferred if it was attached to a NetMAX, formatted by that NetMAX, then removed from that original NetMAX and attached to another NetMAX.
Reconfigure - This is when the method for storing the data on the volume is modified from one type to another. Volume types are normal, mirror, stripe, and noncontiguous.
Downgraded - A volume is downgraded when a mirrored volume is reconfigured to a normal or a stripe. A two-disk mirror would be downgraded to a normal, while a four or more disk mirror would be downgraded to a stripe. A user can choose to downgrade a working mirror for more useable disk space, and the NetMAX may downgrade a damaged mirror if one half of the mirror cannot be mounted. Volume types (normal, mirror, stripe, and noncontiguous) are described in more detail in online help.
Imaged Disk - This refers to the disk imaging for Toshiba Magnia drives. Since the Magnia does not have a CD-ROM drive, the disk must be imaged directly by us or Toshiba in order for NetMAX to be installed.
