1. Figure 29 RAID 5 distributed data guarding showing parity information P Spreading the parity across all the drives allows more simultaneous read operations and higher performance than data guarding RAID 4 If one drive fails the controller uses the parity data and the data on the remaining drives to reconstruct data from the failed drive RAID 5 allows the system to continue operating with reduced performance until the failed drive is replaced However if more than one drive fails RAID 5 also fails and all data in the array is lost Distributed data guarding uses the equivalent of one drive to store parity information and requires an array with a minimum of three physical drives In an array containing three physical drives distributed data guarding uses 33 percent of the total logical drive storage capacity for fault tolerance a 14 drive configuration uses seven percent Note Given the reliability of a particular generation of hard drive technology the probability of an array experiencing a drive failure increases with the number of drives in an array HP recommends the number of drives in a RAID 5 array not exceed 14 Advantages Distributed data guarding offers m High read and write performance m Protection against data loss if one drive fails m Increased usable storage capacity since capacity equal to only one physical drive is used to store parity information NAS 4000s and

NIC teaming provides failover and load balancing of network ports of the NAS server NIC teaming requires the network cables to be installed on the same subnet to enable it to work For example in Figure 3 Ethl and Eth2 would need to be on the same subnet to enable this functionality on those ports However it is not recommended to assign IP addresses to the ports that will be teamed or load balanced prior to the installation and setup of NIC teaming For this reason HP recommends that you set all network ports to DHCP For information concerning the configuration of NIC teaming after setup is complete see Chapter 2 Integrated Lights Out Port Client Subnet 2 Eth 2 Management Subnet 1 Eth 1 Ue ERR Hee HBA 1 HBA 2 TRE tt SAN Switch SAN Switch On rmn eri eie Qui QammO mO Storage Area Network Data RAID set LUN 2 Data RAID set LUN 1 Figure 3 NAS server single device deployment NAS 4000s and 9000s Administration Guide System Overview NAS Server Cluster Deployment In a clustered deployment network connections are divided into three categories cluster maintenance segments client data segments and management segments The default shipping configuration contains a two port 10 100 1000 NIC that together provide one port for the cluster maintenance and one port for management and client data An additional management port for remote console and diagnostics is provid

165. hadow copies can be allocated on either the same volume as the source files or a different volume There is however a trade off between ease of use and maintenance versus performance and reliability that the system administrator must consider For example by keeping the shadow copy on the same volume although there is a potential gain in ease of setup and maintenance there may be a reduction in performance and reliability Caution If shadow copies are stored on the same volume as the user files note that a burst EX of disk input output 1 0 can cause all shadow copies to be deleted If the sudden deletion of shadow copies is unacceptable to administrators or end users it is best to use a separate volume on separate disks to store shadow copies Determining Creation Frequency 96 The more frequently shadow copies are created the more likely that end users will get the version that they want However with a maximum of 64 shadow copies per volume there is a trade off between the frequency of making shadow copies and the amount of time that the earlier files will be available By default the NAS server will create shadow copies at 0700 and 1200 Monday through Friday when the feature is enabled for a volume However these settings are easily modified by the administrator so that the shadow copy schedule can better accommodate end user needs To modify these schedules see the section on Shadow Copy Schedules documented later i
