Chapter 4: Getting Started ● 41 Choosing a RAID Level This section provides a brief overview of the RAID levels supported by your Adaptec RAID controller, including the minimum and maximum number of disk drives required by each. Note: Before you begin, familiarize yourself with your controller’s physical features and the RAID levels that it supports (see Standard RAID Controller Features on page 18). ● RAID 0 (Non-redundant Array)—Stripes data across multiple disk drives.
PAGE 43
Chapter 4: Getting Started ● 42 Selecting Disk Drives and Cables Disk Drives Your SAS controller supports SAS disk drives, SATA disk drives, and SATA and SAS Solid State Drives (SSDs). When selecting disk drives for your RAID array, ensure that all the disk drives have the same performance level. You can use different-sized disk drives in the array, but the array will be limited to the capacity of the smallest and slowest disk drive.
PAGE 44
Chapter 4: Getting Started ● 43 External mini-SAS to mini-SAS (SFF-8088 to SFF-8088)— Connects to a backplane or enclosure. Internal mini-SAS to mini-SAS (SFF-8087 to SFF-8087)— Connects to a backplane or enclosure. Cable connectors are keyed so that you can’t insert them incorrectly. We recommend using only Adaptec SAS cables. For more information or to purchase cables, visit the Adaptec Web site at www.adaptec.com.
PAGE 45
Chapter 4: Getting Started ● 44 To replace the full-height bracket with the low-profile bracket: 1 Remove the full-height bracket from the controller board.

Chapter 9: Managing Your Storage Space ● 80 About Adaptec Storage Manager Adaptec Storage Manager is a full-featured software application that helps you build a storage space for your online data, using Adaptec RAID controllers and disk drives. With Adaptec Storage Manager, you can group disk drives into logical drives and build in redundancy to protect your data and improve system performance.
PAGE 82
Chapter 9: Managing Your Storage Space ● 81 About the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility The Adaptec RAID Configuration (ARC) utility is a BIOS-based utility that you can use to create and manage controllers, disk drives and other devices, and arrays. The ARC utility comprises these tools: ● Array Configuration Utility (ACU)—For creating and managing arrays, and initializing and rescanning disk drives. ● SerialSelect—For modifying your controller and disk drive settings.
PAGE 83
Chapter 9: Managing Your Storage Space ● ● 82 Additionally, you can use the ARCCONF command line utility to configure and manage arrays from the VMware ESX console. For information on installing the Adaptec Storage Manager Agent and ARCCONF on VMware ESX 4.x systems, see the Adaptec Storage Manager User’s Guide and the Command Line Utility User’s Guide, included on the installation DVD. ● On VMware ESXi 5.0 and VMware ESXi 4.

Chapter 10: Solving Problems ● 84 Troubleshooting Checklist If you encounter difficulties installing or using your Adaptec RAID controller, check these items first: ● With your computer powered off, check the connections to each disk drive, power supply, LED connector, and so on. Try disconnecting and reconnecting disk drives from the Adaptec RAID controller. ● Check that your Adaptec RAID controller is installed in a compatible PCIe expansion slot.
PAGE 86
Chapter 10: Solving Problems ● 85 Recovering from a Disk Drive Failure This section explains how to recover when a disk drive fails: ● If the array was protected by a hot spare (see page 85). ● If the array was not protected by a hot spare (see page 85). ● If there is a disk drive failure in more than one array simultaneously (see page 85). ● If it is a RAID 0 array (see page 86). ● If multiple disk drives fail within the same array (see page 86).
PAGE 87
Chapter 10: Solving Problems ● 86 If there are more disk drive failures than hot spares, see Failed Disk Drive Not Protected by a Hot Spare. If copyback is enabled, data is moved back to its original location once the controller detects that the failed drive has been replaced. Disk Drive Failure in a RAID 0 Array Because RAID 0 volumes do not include redundancy, if a disk drive fails in a RAID 0 array, the data can’t be recovered. Correct the cause of the failure or replace the failed disk drives.
PAGE 88
Chapter 10: Solving Problems 3 ● 87 Copy the file AFU.exe (from the Adaptec Installation DVD) and the firmware image files (typically *.ufi) to a bootable DOS floppy disk, USB flash drive, or writable CD-ROM. Note: Due to space limitations with floppy disks, you may need to create multiple floppy disks for each firmware image. 4 Power off your computer, disconnect the power cord, then open the cabinet following the manufacturer’s instructions.

PAGE 90
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 89 Terminology Used in This Chapter For convenience, SAS HBAs and SAS RAID controllers are referred to generically in this chapter as SAS cards. HBAs, RAID controllers, disk drives, and external disk drive enclosures are referred to as end devices and expanders are referred to as expander devices. For convenience, this chapter refers to end devices and expander devices collectively as SAS devices.
PAGE 91
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 90 How Do SAS Devices Communicate? SAS devices communicate with each other through links. A link is a physical connection between two phys. As shown in the following figure, SAS devices contain ports (see page 91), ports contain phys, and each phy contains one transmitter and one receiver—one transceiver. A phy can belong to one port only.
PAGE 92
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 91 What’s a SAS Port? Note: Because the physical link between SAS devices is from phy to phy, rather than port to port, a “port” is more of a virtual concept, different from what is normally considered a port on other types of RAID controllers and storage devices. A port is one or more phys. A narrow port contains one phy. A wide port typically contains four phys.
PAGE 93
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 92 How are Disk Drives Identified in SAS? In the BIOS and in the management utilities (see Identifying Disk Drives on page 114), disk drives are identified in the following formats: ● CNX:DevY = Device Y is attached to Connector X (see Direct-attach Connections below for more information) ● BoxX:SlotX = Enclosure X is attached to a disk drive in Slot X (see Backplane Connections below for more information) ● ExpX:PhyX = Expander X is attached to Phy X (see SAS Expan
PAGE 94
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 93 Some backplanes support daisy-chain expansion to other backplanes. For example, you can daisy-chain (connect one to the next) up to nine Adaptec S50 enclosures to a single SAS card in a host system. SAS Expander Connections A SAS expander device literally expands the number of end devices that you can connect together.
PAGE 95
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 94 How is SAS Different from Parallel SCSI? In summary, although SAS and parallel SCSI both use the SCSI command set, how they move data from one place to another is very different. To support point-to-point serial data transport, SAS introduces new types of connectors, cables, connection options, and terminology. Generally speaking, SAS is faster and more flexible than parallel SCSI, and provides more options for building your storage space.

PAGE 97
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 96 Understanding Drive Segments A drive segment is a disk drive or portion of a disk drive that is used to create an array. A disk drive can include both RAID segments (segments that are part of an array) and available segments. Each segment can be part of only one logical device at a time. If a disk drive is not part of any logical device, the entire disk is an available segment.
PAGE 98
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 97 RAID 1 Arrays A RAID 1 array is built from two disk drives, where one disk drive is a mirror of the other (the same data is stored on each disk drive). Compared to independent disk drives, RAID 1 arrays provide improved performance, with twice the read rate and an equal write rate of single disks. However, capacity is only 50 percent of independent disk drives.
PAGE 99
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 98 RAID 10 Arrays A RAID 10 array is built from two or more equal-sized RAID 1 arrays. Data in a RAID 10 array is both striped and mirrored. Mirroring provides data protection, and striping improves performance. Drive segment size is limited to the size of the smallest disk drive in the array.
PAGE 100
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 99 RAID 5 Arrays A RAID 5 array is built from a minimum of three disk drives, and uses data striping and parity data to provide redundancy. Parity data provides data protection, and striping improves performance. Parity data is an error-correcting redundancy that’s used to re-create data if a disk drive fails. In RAID 5 arrays, parity data (represented by Ps in the next figure) is striped evenly across the disk drives with the stored data.
PAGE 101
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 100 RAID 5EE Arrays A RAID 5EE array—also known as a hot space—is similar to a RAID 5 array except that it includes a distributed spare drive and must be built from a minimum of four disk drives. Unlike a hot spare, a distributed spare is striped evenly across the disk drives with the stored data and parity data, and can’t be shared with other logical disk drives. A distributed spare improves the speed at which the array is rebuilt following a disk drive failure.
PAGE 102
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 101 RAID 50 Arrays A RAID 50 array is built from six to forty-eight disk drives configured as two or more RAID 5 arrays, and stripes stored data and parity data across all disk drives in both RAID 5 arrays. (For more information, see RAID 5 Arrays on page 99.) The parity data provides data protection, and striping improves performance. RAID 50 arrays also provide high data transfer speeds. Drive segment size is limited to the size of the smallest disk drive in the array.
PAGE 103
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 102 RAID 6 Arrays A RAID 6 array—also known as dual drive failure protection—is similar to a RAID 5 array because it uses data striping and parity data to provide redundancy. However, RAID 6 arrays include two independent sets of parity data instead of one. Both sets of parity data are striped separately across all disk drives in the array. RAID 6 arrays provide extra protection for your data because they can recover from two simultaneous disk drive failures.

(Enabling the write cache overrides any individual drive settings in Adaptec Storage Manager.) When set to Disable All, write cache is not used on the disk drives.
PAGE 113
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 112 Option Description Backplane Mode ● Series 2, Series 5, Series 6 Controllers: When set to Auto, controller automatically detects backplane signal type: I2C or SGPIO. To set the backplane mode explicitly select SGPIO, I2C, or Disabled. Default is Auto. ● Series 6E/6T Controllers: When set to Default, controller automatically sets the backplane mode to IBPI. To set the backplane mode explicitly, select IBPI, SGPIO, or Disabled.
PAGE 114
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 113 PHY Settings Option Description PHY Rate The data transfer rate between the controller and devices. The default setting is Auto, which allows the SAS card to adjust the data transfer rate, as needed. For low-port 5-series RAID controllers (5085, 5405), you can set the PHY rate to 1.5Gb/second or 3.0Gb/second (the maximum rate).
