12. ETE User Manual SAS to SAS SATA RAID Subsystem 1 2 RAI D Concepts RAI D Fundamentals The basic idea of RAID Redundant Array of Independent Disks is to combine multiple inexpensive disk drives into an array of disk drives to obtain performance capacity and reliability that exceeds that of a single large drive The array of drives appears to the host computer as a single logical drive Five types of array architectures RAID 1 through RAID 5 were originally defined each provides disk fault tolerance with different compromises in features and performance In addition to these five redundant array architectures it has become popular to refer to a non redundant array of disk drives as a RAID O arrays Disk Striping Fundamental to RAID technology is striping This is a method of combining multiple drives into one logical storage unit Striping partitions the storage space of each drive into stripes which can be as small as one sector 512 bytes or as large as several megabytes These stripes are then interleaved in a rotating sequence so that the combined space is composed alternately of stripes from each drive The specific type of operating environment determines whether large or small stripes should be used Most operating systems today support concurrent disk I O operations across multiple drives However in order to maximize throughput for the RAID Subsystem the I O load must be balanced across all the drives so that each driv

49. RAID 1 also known as disk mirroring is simply a pair of disk drives that store duplicate data but appear to the computer as a single drive Although striping is not used within a single mirrored drive pair multiple RAID 1 arrays can be striped together to create a single large array consisting of pairs of mirrored drives All writes must go to both drives of a mirrored pair so that the information on the drives is kept identical However each individual drive can perform simultaneous independent read operations Mirroring thus doubles the read performance of a single non mirrored drive and while the write performance is unchanged RAID 1 delivers the best performance of any redundant array type In addition there is less performance degradation during drive failure than in RAID 5 arrays Duplicate data is written to pairs of drives DATA DATA DATA DATA DATA DATA Aiii Reads can occur simultaneously on every drive EI User Manual SAS to SAS SATA RAID Subsystem RAID 3 sector stripes data across groups of drives but one drive in the group is dedicated for storing parity information RAID 3 relies on the embedded ECC in each sector for error detection In the case of drive failure data recovery is accomplished by calculating the exclusive OR XOR of the information recorded on the remaining drives Records typically span all drives which optimizes the disk transfer rate Because each I O request accesses every drive in

S to SAS SATA RAID Subsystem RAID 6 is similar to RAID 5 in that data protection is achieved by writing parity information to the physical drives in the array With RAID 6 however two sets of parity data are used These two sets are different and each set occupies a capacity equivalent to that of one of the constituent drives The main advantage of RAID 6 is High data availability any two drives can fail without loss of critical data Writes require parity to be updated gt E ik x one ax s P mg N DATA DATA DATA DATA PARITY PARITY PARITY PARITY i M Ji NC A N d x 5 P a aes E s yyyyy Reads can occur simultaneously on every drive P4 fi P v f A v DATA DATA PARITY PARITY Z SS X E gt P In summary RAID O is the fastest and most efficient array type but offers no fault tolerance RAID 0 requires a minimum of one drive RAID 1 is the best choice for performance critical fault tolerant environments RAID 1 is the only choice for fault tolerance if no more than two drives are used RAID 3 can be used to speed up data transfer and provide fault tolerance in single user environments that access long sequential records However RAID 3 does not allow overlapping of multiple I O operations and requires synchronized spindle drives to avoid performance degradation with short records RAID 5 with a small stripe size offers similar performance R
