( Transparent to Host) Efficient maintenance - An LCD status panel displays a comprehensive readout of the operating status, and the HDD LED Indicators on each HDD tray display the Individual HDD status. - When disk failure occurs on a member disk of the disk array, the built-in buzzer sounds simultaneously and LCD status panel also points out the location of the failed hard disk drive. In the meantime the LED HDD status indicator will light up " Red "on the failed HDD tray , according the LED Indicator on the HDD tray you can perform quick efficient and correct maintenance. - Hot Swap : allows you can remove and install the " Hot Swap " parts without Interrupting data access while the Arena is on. - The ” Hot Swap " parts Include the Hard Disk Drive, Redundant Power Supply Unit and Cooling Fan. Chapter 5 Hot Swap " This chapter explalns how to remove and lnstall the “Hot-Swap“ parts without Interruptlng the data access while the dlsk array Is on' The “Hot-Swap" pans Include : - Hard Dlsk Drlves - Redundant Power Supply Unlts - Cooling Fans Follow the steps below and refer to the dlagrams to remove and install the “Hot-Swap" parts.

A RAID level 0 array by Itself ls thus an unsuitable storage ‘ medium for data that can not easily be reproduced, or for data that must be available for critical system operation. It is more suitable for data that can be reproduced or is replicated on other media. 0 A RAID level 0 array can be partlcularly useful for : - Storing program image Ilbraries or runtime libraries for rapid loadlng, these libraries are normally read only. - Storing large tables or other structures of read only data for rapid ~ application access. lee program Images, the data should be backed up on hlghly reliable media, from whlch if can be recreated in the event of a failure. ’ - Collecting data from external sources at very hlgh data transfer rates. _;____j______ Advanced Information 6, Type " Go " to reconfirm and the firmware will begln to be reprogrammed. 7.

Introduction 0 RAID level 5 arrays have unique performance characteristics : - The data can be recalculated or regenerated, using parity, when any drive in the array falls. - When the failed drive ls replaced, either automatically if the subsystem contained a hot spare drive, or by user intervention during a scheduled maintenance period, the system will be restored its full data redundancy configuration by rebuilding all of the data that had been stored on the failed drive onto the new drive. This is accomplished using parity information and , data from the other data disks. Once the rebuild process is complete, all data is again protected from loss due to any failure of a single disk drive. Advanced Information 2.

This chapter guides you Through selling up your Disk Array for the first time. This chapter contains information on setup. The setup program is a menu—driven utility which enables you to make changes to the configuration and tailor your Disk Array to your individual needs. A The setup program is a ROM—based configuration utility which displays the Disk Arrays status and allows you to set up the parameters. The parameters are stored In a nonvolatile battery backup CMOS RAM which saves the information even when the power is off. By using an easy-to-use user interface, you can configure such Items as : ' RAID Level - Hot Spare Disk - SCSI ID - Termination - Password (For protection from unauthorized use) - Firmware update (VT 1 00 Terminal mode only] for update procedures please refer to Chapter 4 : Advanced information.

The optional memory expansion soaket Is provided for installing memory module. These expansion memory module can be purchased from your dealer. - Memory Type : The DRAM can be either 60NS or 70NS, supports both Fast Page Model FPM] and Extended Data Output ( EDO ) SlMMs . ' Memory Size : Supports 72p|n SlMMs of AME, BMB, léMB, 32MB or 64MB The main-board supports many memory combinations for a total of up to l 28MB. Memory sizes are arrived at by inserting different combinations of SIMM DRAM modules into the RAM sockets. The RAM sockets are numbered SIMM l and SlMM 2.

Introduction RAID Level 5 : " Independent Access Array with Rotating Parity " High Data Reliability & Transfer Capacity ’ em “to,” Disk1 Disk2 Disk 3 Disk4 Disk 5 Disk 6 Physiml P : Partly When RAID Level 5 technology Is combined with cache memory to improve its vvrlte performance, the result can be used in any applications where general purpose disks would be suitable. For read only or read mostly application l/O loads, RAID Level 5 performance should approximate that of 0 RAID Level 0 array. In fact, fora given user capacity, RAID Level 5 read performance should normally be slightly better because requests are spread , across one more members than they would be In 0 RAID Level 0 array of equivalent usable capacity 0 A RAID level 5 array performs best in applications where data and l/O load characteristics match their capabilities : ' Data whose enhanced availability Is worth protecting, but for “ which the value of full disk mirroring Is questionable. - High read request rates. - Small percentage of writes in I/O load. H "_ introduction 0 RAID level 0 arrays are not particularly suitable for : - Applications which make sequential requests for small amount of data, These applications will spend most of their l/O time waiting for disks to spin, whether or not they use striped arrays as storage media. - Applications which make synchronous random requests for small amounts of data. Introduction General RAID Conce ots Correct installation of the disk array requires an understanding of RAID technology and the concepts described In this section. Definition RAID is an acronym of Redundant Array of Independent Disks . A RAID is 0 Disk Array in which part of the storage capacity ls used to record redundant Information about the user data stored on the remainder of the storage capacity. The redundant Information enables regeneration of user data In the event that one of the Array‘s member Disks or the access path to it fails. Benefits of RAID 1. Secure Data RAID is an emerging storage technology with the potential to revolutionize the data storage technology. A typical RAID unit contains a set of disk drives. typically two to six, which appear to the user to be equivalent to a single large capacity disk drive. The remarkable benefit of disk array is that if any single disk in the RAID fails, the system and array still continues to function without loss of data. This Is possible because the redundancy data Is stored on separate disk drives and the RAID can reconstruct the data that was stored on the failed disk drive. 2. Increases system performance As the effective seek time for finding data on a disk can potentially be reduced by allowing multiple simultaneous access of different data on different disks. Utilizing parallel reads and writes of the data spread across the disks In the array, the data transter rate can be Increased significantly over that of a single disk. 3. Easy maintenance RAID system maintenance is typically simplified because it is easy to replace Individual disks and other components while the system continues to function.
