D level 5 is created the parity in the volume must be initialized The RAID controller will read every stripe calculate parity and write the parity This can take several hours depending on the capacity of the disks The RAID is made available from when it is created but full performance is not achieved until the RAID is fully initialized NOTE 2 GB of each disk is reserved for reallocated blocks by the controller Therefore the capacity formed will be slightly less than the nominal capacity available from the drives NOTE Usable drive capacities are fixed to allow drives to be used from different manufacturers The result is that some capacity may be lost due to the difference in actual capacities between different manufacturers even though the nominal capacity is the same NOTE If the disks that are being used to form the RAID have different capacities the RAID will be created using the smallest disk capacity of the different disks Additional capacity on larger disks will be lost RAID Expansion The Raidtec FS3102 system supports online expansion of the RAID This expansion is accomplished in two possible ways by row or by column The controller decides what the best way of expanding the RAID is The user does not have the ability to choose the expansion method Expansion By Row The RAID will be expanded by row if possible To expand by row the number of disks that are being added to the RAID must be the same number that are in the RA

ID that is being expanded The RAID will be expanded by adding an additional row of disks to the RAID The number of columns in the RAID will remain the same If the original RAID was level 5 the controller will have to initialize parity for the new row NOTE If the disks that are being used to form the additional row have different capacities the row will be expanded using the smallest disk capacity of the disks being added Additional capacity on larger disks will be lost The capacity of the disks in the new row can be different from the first row of disks Expansion By Column Raidtec FS3102 Hardware Installation Guide Version 1 0 28 If there are insufficient disks to form an entire new row the RAID will be expanded by adding columns to the stripe This involves adding extra disks to each row this will be a single row unless the RAID has already been expanded by adding an additional row When this is done a re striping operation is necessary The system reads each stripe in turn and writes it to an expanded stripe This is a time consuming operation NOTE Expansion by column will expand the RAID using the same disk capacity that was used in the existing columns If the disks that are being used to expand the RAID have smaller capacities than the columns already in the RAID the expansion will not be allowed If the disks that are being used to expand the RAID have larger capacities than the columns already in the RAID the additional capaci
