Chapter 4: Getting Started ● 39 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.
Chapter 4: Getting Started ● 40 Selecting Disk Drives and Cables Disk Drives Your SAS controller supports SAS disk drives, SATA disk drives, SATA and SAS Solid State Drives (SSD), and Adaptec MaxIQ Solid State Drives. 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.
Chapter 4: Getting Started ● 41 Internal mini-SAS to SATA fan-out (SFF-8087 to 4x SATA)—Connects to four SATA disk drives. 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.
Chapter 4: Getting Started ● 42 Basic Installation Steps This section describes the installation process. Follow the steps for the installation option you’ve chosen.

Solving Problems 10 In this chapter... Troubleshooting Checklist ..................................................................................................... 76 Silencing the Alarm ................................................................................................................ 76 Recovering from a Disk Drive Failure ................................................................................... 77 Resetting the Controller.......................................................
Chapter 10: Solving Problems ● 76 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.
Chapter 10: Solving Problems ● 77 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 77). ● If the array was not protected by a hot spare (see page 77). ● If there is a disk drive failure in more than one array simultaneously (see page 77). ● If it is a RAID 0 array (see page 78). ● If multiple disk drives fail within the same array (see page 78).
Chapter 10: Solving Problems ● 78 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.
Chapter 10: Solving Problems ● 79 4 Power off your computer, disconnect the power cord, then open the cabinet following the manufacturer’s instructions. 5 Disconnect all cables from the controller, then attach a shorting jumper to the Mode 0 flash connector. Note: To locate the Mode 0 flash connector on your Adaptec RAID controller, see the figures in About Your RAID Controller on page 17. On Adaptec Series 6/6E controllers, the label on the flash connector is “HDA mode.
Introduction to SAS A In this appendix... Terminology Used in This Chapter ....................................................................................... 81 What is SAS? ........................................................................................................................... 81 How Do SAS Devices Communicate? ................................................................................... 82 What’s a Phy? ......................................................................
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 81 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.
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 82 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 83), ports contain phys, and each phy contains one transmitter and one receiver—one transceiver. A phy can belong to one port only.
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 83 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.
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 84 How are Disk Drives Identified in SAS? In the BIOS and in the management utilities (see Identifying Disk Drives on page 105), 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
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 85 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.
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 86 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.
Understanding RAID B In this appendix... Understanding Drive Segments............................................................................................. 88 Non-redundant Arrays (RAID 0) .......................................................................................... 88 RAID 1 Arrays ........................................................................................................................ 89 RAID 1 Enhanced Arrays...........................................................
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 88 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.
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 89 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.
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 90 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.
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 91 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.
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 92 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.
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 93 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 91.) 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.
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 94 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.
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 95 Selecting the Best RAID Level Use this table to select the RAID levels that are most appropriate for the logical drives on your storage space, based on the number of available disk drives and your requirements for performance and reliability.
Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility C In this appendix... Introduction to the ARC Utility ............................................................................................ 97 Running the ARC Utility........................................................................................................ 97 Using the ACU to Create and Manage Arrays ...................................................................... 97 Using the ACU to Create and Manage JBODs...........................
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 97 Introduction to the ARC Utility The ARC utility comprises these tools: ● The Array Configuration Utility (ACU)—For creating and managing arrays, and initializing and rescanning disk drives (see page 97). ● SerialSelect—For modifying your controller and disk drive settings (see page 101). ● Disk Utilities—For formatting or verifying disk drives (see page 104).
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 98 Managing Existing Arrays To view or modify existing arrays, select Manage Arrays from the main ACU menu. From the Manage Arrays menu, you can: ● View the properties of an array. Note: Failed drives are displayed in a different text color. ● Make an array bootable (see Creating Bootable Arrays on page 98). ● Assign or remove hot spares. ● Modify power management settings. ● Change the cache settings for an array. ● Delete an array.
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 99 Option Description Power Off Drive After The duration of inactive state of the array/drive after which it is powered off. This is an optional setting. Note: Power Off Drive After duration should be greater than Slow Down Drive After Duration. Verify Drive After The regular time interval at which the system performs a health check of the array/drive. Modifying Cache Settings You can modify the read and write cache settings for an array.
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 100 Secure Erasing Disk Drives When you perform a secure erase on a disk drive, all data on that disk drive is completely and irretrievably eradicated. Secure erase performs three distinct writing passes to the disk drive being erased—it does not just write zeros. Performing a secure erase takes up to six times longer than clearing (or zeroing) a disk drive.
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 101 To begin creating a JBOD, select Create JBOD from the main ACU menu. All the supported disk drives are displayed. Select a disk drive and Enter. Managing Existing JBODs To delete a JBOD or morph a JBOD into a simple volume, select Manage JBODs from the main ACU menu. From the Manage JBODs menu, you can: ● Morph a JBOD into a simple volume. ● Delete a JBOD Note: When you delete a JBOD, you lose all data on that disk.
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 102 Opening SerialSelect To open SerialSelect, start the ARC utility (see page 97), select SerialSelect, then press Enter. Follow the on-screen instructions to modify the settings of your controller and connected disk drives as required. Applying Changes and Exiting 1 To exit SerialSelect, press Esc until you are prompted to exit. If you modified any settings, you are prompted to save the changes before you exit.
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 103 Option Description Physical Drives Display During POST When enabled, connected disk drives are displayed during system Power On Self Test (POST). Displaying the disk drives adds a few seconds to the overall POST time. Default is disabled. DVD/CD-ROM Boot Support When enabled, the system can be booted from a bootable DVD/CD. (This setting is not available on all RAID controller models.
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 104 Option Description Spin Up Limit (Internal) The number of internal drives to be spun up at any given moment. By default it is set to 0. In the default setting, all the internal drives will spin up. Spin Up Limit (External) The number of external drives to be spun up at any given moment. By default it is set to 0. In the default setting, all the external drives will spin up.
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 4 Select the disk drive you want, then press Enter. 5 Select Identify Drive, then press Enter. 6 When you have finished locating your disk drive, press any key to stop the blinking. 105 Identifying Disk Drives You can identify disk drives by viewing the list of disk drives on your system. Only physical drives that display during POST are shown. To identify a disk drive: 1 Start the ARC utility (see page 97).
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 106 Viewing the Event Log The BIOS-based event log records all firmware events, such as configuration changes, array creation, and boot activity. Some events are not stored indefinitely—the event log is cleared of any non-persistent events each time you restart your computer; additionally, once the log is full, new events overwrite old events. To view the event log: 1 Start the ARC utility (see page 97).
Using the Adaptec Flash Utility D In this appendix... System Requirements ........................................................................................................... 108 Before You Begin .................................................................................................................. 108 Running the Menu-based AFU............................................................................................ 109 Running the AFU from the Command Line...........................
Appendix D: Using the Adaptec Flash Utility ● 108 System Requirements ● DOS version 5.0 or later. Note: You can’t run the AFU from a DOS command prompt window under any version of Windows. ● At least 8 MB of extended memory. Compatibility Notes ● Supports HIMEM.SYS; compatible with other DOS drivers running under HIMEM.SYS (for example, SMARTDRV.SYS and SETVER.SYS). ● Does not support DOS extenders installed in memory, such as EMM386.SYS and DOS4GW.
Appendix D: Using the Adaptec Flash Utility ● 109 Creating the Firmware Update Disks To create the firmware update disks: 1 Copy these files to empty, formatted floppy disks, a USB flash drive, or a writable CD: ● AFU.exe ● Axxxx01.ufi where xxx is the model number of your controller. Note: Most controller model numbers have a suffix (for example Adaptec RAID 3405). Check that the .ufi file is the correct file for your controller before copying.
Appendix D: Using the Adaptec Flash Utility 7 ● 110 Complete the flash operation and restart your computer before trying to use the RAID controller again. (You can not use your RAID controller while you are updating its flash.) The AFU processes the selected command, prompts you to insert additional floppy disks as needed, and reports either success or an error message code. Running the AFU from the Command Line Note: You can also run a menu-based AFU (see page 109).
Appendix D: Using the Adaptec Flash Utility ● 111 These switches are available: ● /C —One or more RAID controller IDs representing the set of RAID controllers on which to perform the specified command. The default is 0; if the computer has multiple RAID controllers, the AFU defaults to controller 0 unless you specify otherwise.
Appendix D: Using the Adaptec Flash Utility ● 112 Verify Compares the contents of each of the flash components on a RAID controller to the corresponding image in a UFI file, and indicates whether they match. After using the VERIFY command, you must restart the computer. The command syntax for the VERIFY command is as follows: AFU VERIFY [/C] [/D ] This example shows a typical system response after a VERIFY command. A:\> AFU VERIFY /C 0 Adaptec Flash Utility V4.
Appendix D: Using the Adaptec Flash Utility ● 113 Updating the Flash Using the AFU Command Line 1 Create the firmware update disks (see page 109). 2 Shut down your operating system and reboot to DOS from a bootable DOS floppy disk or from a DOS partition on a bootable drive. (You can use a disk connected to the controller you’re updating.
