Chapter 2 I ntroduction to RAI D 5 2 Introduction to RAID RAID (Redundant A rray of Independent Disks) is an array o f m ultiple independent hard disk drives t hat provide h igh perf ormance and f ault tol erance. A R AID dis k subs ys tem i mprov es I/O performance.
MegaRA ID Enterpr ise 1600 Har dware Guide 6 RA ID Levels RAID (R edundant A rray of Independent Disk s) is a collection of specifications th at describe a system for ensuring the reliability and stability of data stored on large disk subsy stems. A RAID sy stem can be implem ented in a num ber of differen t version s (or RAID L evels).
Chapter 2 I ntroduction to RAI D 7 Disk Striping Disk striping w r ites data across multiple disk drives instead of just one disk drive. Disk striping involves partitioning each drive storage space into stripes that can vary in size from 2 KB to 128 KB.
MegaRA ID Enterpr ise 1600 Har dware Guide 8 Disk Mirroring With mirroring (used in RAID 1), data written to one disk drive is sim ultaneously w ritten to another disk drive. If on e disk drive f ails, the conten ts of the oth er disk drive can be used to run the sy stem an d reconstruct the failed driv e.
Chapter 2 I ntroduction to RAI D 9 Disk Spanning Disk spanning allows m ultiple d isk drives to function like one big drive. Spanni ng overcomes lack of disk s pace and sim p lifies st orage m anagem ent by com bining ex isting res ources or adding relativel y in expensi ve resources .
MegaRA ID Enterpr ise 1600 Har dware Guide 10 Parity Parity generate s a set of redundancy data from t wo or m ore parent data sets . The redundancy data can be used to reconstruct one of th e parent data sets. Parity data does not fully duplicate th e parent data sets.
Chapter 2 I ntroduction to RAI D 11 Hot Spares A hot spa re is a n extra, unused d isk dri ve that is p art of the d isk subsystem. It is usua lly in standb y mode, ready for service if a drive f ails. Hot spares permit y ou to replace failed drives with out system shutdown or user interve ntion.
MegaRA ID Enterpr ise 1600 Har dware Guide 12 Disk Rebuild You rebuild a disk drive by recreating the data th at had been st ored on the drive bef ore the drive failed. Rebuil ding can be done only in arrays wi th data redun d ancy such as RA ID level 1, 3, 5, 10, 30, and 50.
Chapter 2 I ntroduction to RAI D 13 Logical Drive A logical drive is a partition in a phy sical array of disks that is m ade up of contiguous data segm ents on the phy sical disks.

Chapter 3 RA ID L evel s 15 3 RAID Levels The re ar e six o fficial RAID leve ls (RAID 0 thro ugh RAID 5) . Me gaRAID su pports RAID levels 0, 1, 3, and 5. LSI Logic has designed three additional RAID lev els (10, 30 , and 50) that provide additional be nefits.
MegaRA ID Enterpr ise 1600 Har dware Guide 16 Selecting a RA ID Level The factors y ou need to cons ider wh en selecting a RAID level are lis ted below. Level Description and Use Pros Cons Maxi m um Physical Drives Fault Tolerant 0 Data div ided in blocks and distributed sequentia lly (pur e striping ).
Chapter 3 RA ID L evel s 17 RA ID 0 RAID 0 provides dis k stri ping acros s all driv es in th e RAID subs ys tem . RAID 0 does not provi de any data redundan cy, but does of fer the bes t perform ance of any RAID level . RAID 0 break s up data into sm aller blocks and then w rites a block to each drive in th e array.
MegaRA ID Enterpr ise 1600 Har dware Guide 18 RA ID 1 In RA ID 1, MegaRAID du plicates all dat a from one drive t o a second drive. R AID 1 provi des complete data redu ndancy , but at the cost of doubling the required data st orage capacity.
Chapter 3 RA ID L evel s 19 RA ID 3 RAID 3 p rovi des d isk strip ing and comple te da ta re dunda ncy though a d edic ated par ity drive . T he stripe size must be 64 KB if RAID 3 is used. RA ID 3 handles data at the block level, not the byte level, so it is ideal for netw orks that often han dle very large f iles, such as graphic images.
MegaRA ID Enterpr ise 1600 Har dware Guide 20 RA ID 3, Co ntinued RAID 5 vs RAID 3 You may find that RA ID 5 is preferable to RA ID 3 even for applications ch aracterized by sequential reads and w r ites, because MegaRAID h as very robus t caching alg o rithm s and hardw are based exclus ive-or ass ist.
Chapter 3 RA ID L evel s 21 RA ID 5 RAID 5 includes disk striping at the byte level an d parity. In RAID 5, the parity information is written to several drives. RAID 5 is best suited for networks th at perform a lot of small I/O transactions sim ultaneously.
MegaRA ID Enterpr ise 1600 Har dware Guide 22 RA ID 10 RAID 10 is a com bination of RA ID 0 and RAID 1. R AID 10 ha s mi rrored drives. R AID 10 break s up data into sm aller blocks, and then s tripes the blocks of data to each RA ID 1 raid set. Each RAID 1 raid s et then duplicates its data to its other drive.
Chapter 3 RA ID L evel s 23 RA ID 30 RAID 30 is a com bination of RA ID 0 and RA ID 3. RAID 30 provides high data trans fer speeds and high data reliability . RAID 30 is best implem ented on two RA ID 3 disk arrays w ith data striped across both dis k array s.
MegaRA ID Enterpr ise 1600 Har dware Guide 24 RA ID 50 RAID 50 provides th e features of both RAID 0 an d RAID 5. RAID 50 in cludes both parity and disk striping across mu ltiple drives. RAID 50 is best implemented on tw o RAID 5 disk array s with data striped acros s both di sk array s.
Chapter 4 F eatures 25 4 Features MegaRA ID Enterprise 1600 64- Bit LV D has f our SCS I chann els th at support 160M and Wide SCSI, w ith data tran sfer rates of up to 160 MB/s per SCSI ch annel. Each SCSI ch annel s upports up to 1 5 W ide d evice s and up to se ven non-W ide devi ces.

Chapter 6 Ha rdwar e I nstallation 57 SCSI Termination The SCSI bus on a SC SI channel is an electrical transm ission line. It m ust be term inated properly to minim ize reflections and losses. You complete the SCSI bus by setting term ination at both ends.
MegaRA ID Enterpris e 1600 Har dware Guide 58 SCSI Termination, Continue d Term inating Extern al Disk Arrays In m ost array enclosu res, the end of th e SCSI cable has an independent SC SI termin ator module that is not part of a SCSI drive. In this w ay, SCSI termination is not disturbed wh en a drive is rem oved.
Chapter 6 Ha rdwar e I nstallation 59 SCSI Termination, Continue d Term inating Internal an d Extern al Disk Arrays You can use both internal and ex ternal drives w ith MegaRAID. You still mu st make su re that the proper SCSI termination and term ination power is preserved.
