Chapter I : " Introduction “ This chapter wIII Introduce you to your new Disk Arroy's features and provtde intormatton on general RAID concept Introduction Solid reliability - Automatic tailed disk drive detection. - Auto rebuild : when a replacement disk installed spare disk 1, Arena provides automatic data rebu commands or functions keye [or by using hot lid without any d in. ( Transparent to Host J 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 can perform quick, efficient and correct maintena - Hot Swap : allows you can remove and install the " Hot Swap ' parts without interrupting data access while the Arena is on. ~ The " Hot Nap ' parts include the Hard Disk Drive, Redundant Power Supply Unit and Cooling Fan. Introduction RAID Levels RAID Level 0 : " Disk Striping " High l/O Performance Disk 1 Disk 2 Disk 3 Disk 4 Disk 5 Disk 6 Physical 0 Improved l/O performance is the major reason for using RAID level 0. ONo protection is provided against data loss due to member disk failures. A MID level 0 arr ay by itself is thus an unsuitable storage medium for data that can not easily be reproduced, or for data that rltical system operation. it is more suitable for data that can be reproduced or is replicated on other media. .A RAID level 0 array can be particularly useful for : - Storing program image libraries or runtlme libraries for rapid loading, these libraries are normally read only. - Storing large tables or other structures of read only data for rapid application access. Like program Images, the data should be backed up on highly reliable media, from which It can be recreated In the event of a faliure. - Collecting data from external sources at very high data transfer rates. Iniroduciion RAID Level 1 : " Disk Mirroring “ High Daia reliability 0 RAID level I member disk falls, array managemeni software simply directs all application requesIs lo the surviving member. Inlroducllon O The distinctive performance chorocfeflsflcs of RAlD Level 3 : - RAID Level 3 provides excellent performance for data transferlmenslve appllccrlons. - RAlD level 3 In not well suited for Transacllon processlng or olher l/O request-Imensh/e cppliccn‘lons. when any drive In The array falls. - When the failed drive is replaced, either automatically if the subsystem contained a hot spare drive, or by user lnieNenrion during a scheduled maintenance period, ihe system will be resrorecl its full data redundancy configuration by rebuilding all of the dara that had been stored on the failed drive onto the new drive. This is accomplished using palliy information and complete, all data is again protected from loss due to any failure of a single disk drive. introduction SU. o orted RAID Levels Based on the needs of a Disk Arrays capacity, data availability, and overall performance, you can select a proper RAID level for your Disk Array The supported RAlD ia/eis are shown in below : Function Description Drives required Min, Max. "Disk Striping" , block striping is used, which yields higher performance than with the individual disk drives. * There is no redundant function. "Disk Mirroring“ , Disk drives are mirrored , All data is l00% duplicated on each equivalent disk drives. * High Data Reliability " Parallel Transfer Disks with Parity '. Data is striped across physical drives. Parity protection is used for data redundancy. " independent Access Array with Parity", Data is striped across physical drives.

Introduction RAID Level 5 : " Independent Access Array with Rotating Parity - High Data Reliability 8c Transfer Capacity " Disk1 Dlsk2 Disk3 Diskd Disks Disks Physical P : Parity When RAID Level 5 technology Is combined with cache memory to Improve its write performance, the result can be used In any - applications where general purpose dlsks would be sultable. For read only or read mostty application l/O loads, RAID Level 5 a performance should approximate that of 0 RAID Level 0 array. In ‘ fact, for a given user capacity, RAID Level 5 read performance should normally be sllghtty 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 I/O load characteristics match thelr capabilities : - Data whose enhanced avallabllity Is worth protecting, but for whlch the value at full dlsk mlrroring ls questionable, - High read request rates. - - Small percentage of wrltes ln VO load. _fii______“ Introduction “ RAID Level 3 : “ " Parallel Transfer Disks with Parity " High Data Reliability & Highest Transfer Capach " Disk 1 Disk 2 Disk 3 Disk 4 Disk 5 Disk 6 Physical P:PCIrl‘ly RAID Level 3 technology use a dedicated partly disk to store A redundant Information about the data on several data disks. RAID Level 3 is an excellent choice for applications which require single stream V0 with a high data transfer rate. RAID Level 3 is optimal for applications In which large block of sequential data must be transferred quickly, these applications are - usually of one of these types : 0 They operate on large data objects such as graphical image processing, CAD/CAM files, and others. 0 They are non-Interactive applications that process large data sequentially. They usually request a large amount of data [32KBytes or more] with each V0 request. |____i___“ Introduction 0 RAID level 0 arrays are not particularly suitable for : - Applications whlch males sequential requests for small amount of — data. These applications will spend most of their l/O time waiting for dlsks 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 c Correct Installation of the disk anay 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 a Disk Array In which part of the storage capacity is 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 - Arrays member Disks or the access path to It falls. 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 falls, 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 wstem 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 transfer rate can be increased significantly over that of a single — disk. . 3. Easy maintenance RAID system maintenance is typicalty simplified because it is easy to replace individual disks and other components while the system continues to function.
