Hardware RAID System Configuration This section describes how to use the internal hard disk drives as a RAID System using the RAID Controller (MegaRAID). For more information about the optional RAID Controller, refer to the documents provided with the optional Products. RAID Overview of the RAID System What is RAID? RAID is an abbreviation for "Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks". The RAID technology allows several hard disk drives (HDD) to be handled collectively.
Hardware RAID Levels The record mode enabling the RAID feature includes several levels. Among the levels, the RAID Controller (MegaRAID) supports RAID levels 0, 1,5,6,10 and 50. The number of hard disk drives required to create a disk group varies depending on the RAID level as shown in the table below. RAID level Number of required HDDs Min. Max.
Hardware Virtual Disk Virtual disk is a logical drive defined in disk group. It is recognized as a physical drive by OS. The allowable number of virtual disks is up to 16 per disk group, or up to 64 per controller. The figure below shows a sample configuration in which the RAID Controller (MegaRAID) is connected with three HDDs, creating one Disk Group. Two RAID5 virtual disks (VD) are defined in the Disk Group. Parity The parity means redundant data.
Hardware RAID Level This section describes particulery the characteristics of the RAID levels suppurted by the RAID controller (MegaRAUD). Characteristics of RAID Levels The table below lists the characteristics of the RAID levels.
Hardware RAID0 In RAID0, data to be recorded is distributed to HDDs. The mode is called "striping". In the figure below, data is recorded in stripe 1 (disk 1), stripe 2 (disk 2), and stripe 3 (disk 3)… in the order. Because RAID0 allows all HDDs to be accessed collectively, it can provide the best disk access performance. IMPORTANT: RAID0 cannot have data redundancy. If a HDD is defected, the data saved in the HDD cannot be recovered.
Hardware RAID5 In RAID5, data is distributed to HDDs by striping and, at the same time, the parity (redundant data) is distributed to the HDDs. This mode is called "striping with distributed parity". Each of stripe x, stripe x+1, and parity (x, x+1) created from stripe x and stripe x+1 is written onto a specific HDD. Accordingly, the total capacity assigned to the parity is just the same as the capacity of a single HDD.
Hardware RAID10 Data to be recorded is distributed to two HDDs in mirroring mode. Then, each mirrored data is written onto HDD by striping. Owing to this feature, high disk access performance of RAID0 and, in addition, high reliability of RAID1 can be achieved.
Hardware Features of RAID Controller (MegaRAID) This section describes the features of the RAID Controller (MegaRAID). Rebuild If a HDD is defected, the rebuild feature can recover the data in the defe Manual Rebuild The manual rebuild can be performed by using WebBIOS or Universal RAID Utility, the management utility of the RAID Controller (MegaRAID). Select a HDD and start the rebuild manually.
Hardware Needed time for Rebuild Here describes the sample time for Rebuild while few accesses to the HDDs in the system.The more the accesses are, the more the time is.
Hardware Patrol Read The patrol read gives the read & verify test in the entire area of HDDs. It can be performed for all HDDs assigned to virtual disks and hot-spares. The Patrol Read allows subsequent defects of HDDs to be detected and repaired. For HDDs configuring redundant virtual disks or those assigned to hot-spares, error sectors detected during Patrol Read can be repaired. IMPORTANT: Note the following for the patrol read: ●To change settings of Patrol Read, use Universal RAID Utility.
Hardware Background Initialize The Background Initialize is automatically executed when RAID5 virtual disk is created in the disk group composing of five or more HDDs. The Background Initialize performs the parity generation processing in the background to the area not initialized. The processing is equivalent to that of Consistency Check. However, the Background Initialize is not performed in the following cases.
Hardware Reconstruction The reconstruction feature is used to change configuration and/or RAID level of existing virtual disk. The Reconstruction contains the following three features, however, the RAID Controller (MegaRAID) supports "Migration with addition" only. IMPORTANT: Use WebBIOS for Reconstruction. Universal RAID Utility does not support Reconstruction. Removed physical drive Unsupported. Migration only Unsupported. Migration with addition Use this feature to add HDDs to existing virtual disk.
Hardware IMPORTANT: Note the following for the Reconstruction: ● Be sure to make backup copy of data and perform Consistency Check before starting Reconstruction. ● The Reconstruction is disabled in the configuration where several virtual disks are defined in one disk group ● During Reconstruction, the processing rate is decreased due to heavy load. ● The Reconstruction can be performed for the degraded virtual disk.
Hardware Before Using WebBIOS Read the following sections describing supported functions and precautions before using WebBIOS.
Hardware 5. The disk drive slot numbers written on the server front bay, the physical drive numbers shown in WebBIOS and those shown in Universal RAID Utility are identified as follows. WebBIOS Enclosure number and Slot number shown in Physical Drives box* * "X:X:X" shown in Physical Drives box represents Connector number:Enclosure number:Slot number. With this server, the Connector number is not supported, thus, it is always indicated as "()". The Enclosure Number is always "1".
