A Introduction to SAS In this appendix... T erminolog y U sed in This Chapt er ....................................................................................... 89 W hat is SAS? ...................................................................
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 89 T erminology Used in This Chapter For c on v enienc e, SAS HBAs and SAS R AID contr ollers are r eferred t o generically in this chapte r as SAS cards .
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 90 How Do SAS De vices Communicat e? SAS devices comm unicate with each other thr ough links. A link is a ph ysical connectio n between tw o ph ys.
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 91 What’s a SAS Port? Note: Because the ph ysical link between SAS de vices is from ph y to ph y , rather than por t to por t, a “por t” is more of a vir tual concept, di fferent from what is normally considered a por t on other types of RAID controllers and storage devices.
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 92 How are Disk Driv es Identified in SAS? In the BIOS and in the management u tilities (see Ident ify ing Disk Dr ives on page 114 ), disk drives ar e identified i.
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 93 Some backplanes support daisy-chain e xpansion to other back planes. For e xample, you can daisy-chain (connect one to the next) up t o nine A daptec S50 enclosures to a single SAS card in a host system.
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 94 How is SAS Different from Parallel SCSI? In summary , althoug h SAS and paral lel SCSI both use the SCSI command set, ho w they move data from one place to another is ve r y different.
B Under standing RAID In this appendix... U nderstanding Driv e Segments ............................................................................................. 96 N on-redundant Arrays (RAID 0) ..................................................
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 96 Understanding Drive Segments A drive s egme nt is a disk dr iv e or portion of a disk dr iv e that is used to cr eate an array . A disk drive can incl ude both RAID segments (segments that are part of an arr ay) and a vailable segments.
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 97 RAID 1 Arra ys A RAID 1 array is built fr om tw o disk drives, whe re one disk dri ve is a mirror of the other (the same data is stored on each disk driv e). Comp ar ed to independ ent disk driv es, RAID 1 arrays pro vide improv ed performance, with twice the read rate and an equal write rate of sing le disks.
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 98 RAID 10 Arra ys A R AI D 10 ar r ay is b ui lt f rom tw o o r m or e e qu a l- si ze d RA ID 1 ar r ay s. D at a i n a R AI D 10 ar r ay is both str iped and mi rrored. Mirroring provides data protection, and striping i mpro ves performance.
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 99 RAID 5 Arra ys A RAID 5 array is bui lt from a minimum of t hree disk driv es, and uses da ta striping and parity data to pr ovide r edundancy . P arity data pro vides data protectio n, and striping improv es performance.
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 100 RAID 5EE Arra ys A RAID 5EE array—also known as a hot space —is similar to a RAID 5 array e xc ept that it includes a distributed spare drive and must be built from a minimum of four disk driv es.
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 101 RAID 50 Arra ys A RAID 50 array is built fr om six to forty-eig ht disk driv es configur ed as two or more RAID 5 arrays, and stripes stored dat a and parity data across all disk drives i n both RAID 5 arrays. (F or more inf ormation, see RAID 5 A r ra ys on page 99 .
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 102 RAID 6 Arra ys A RAID 6 array—also known as dual drive fail ure prot ection—is similar to a RAID 5 array because it uses data striping and par ity data to provide redundancy . Ho weve r , RAID 6 arr ays include tw o inde pendent sets of parity data instead of one.
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 103 Selecting the Best RAID Le vel U se this table t o select the RAID lev els that are most appro priate for the logical drives o n your storage space, based on the numbe r of available disk driv es and y our requir ements for performance and r eliability .
