container 1) Any entity that is capable of storing data, whether it is a physical device
or a group of physical devices. (2) A virtual, internal controller structure
representing either a single disk or a group of disk drives linked as a
storageset. Stripesets and mirrorsets are examples of storageset containers
the controller uses to create units.
controller A hardware device that, with proprietary software, facilitates
communications between a host and one or more devices organized in an
array. HS family controllers are examples of array controllers.
copying A state in which data to be copied to the mirrorset is inconsistent with other
members of the mirrorset. See also normalizing.
copying member Any member that joins the mirrorset after the mirrorset is created is
regarded as a copying member. Once all the data from the normal member
(or members) is copied to a normalizing or copying member, the copying
member then becomes a normal member. See also normalizing member.
