Chapter 1 1.1 RAID Introduction What is RAID? It is inevitable that a single hard disk, either with SCSI or IDE interface, will suffer the compatibility problem between the motor rotational speed and the transfer interface. As a result, an Ultra160 SCSI or ATA100 IDE hard disk can only achieve the transfer rate of up to 30MB/Sec at the bandwidth of 100MHz. In addition, the life span of a hard disk is limited. Once a hard disk is damaged, it is likely to lead to the system crash and data loss.
3 Stores parity information on independent disk Total capacity of all the hard disks minus one disk capacity High Very High 3 5 Stores parity information on all the hard disks Total capacity of all the hard disks minus one disk capacity High Very High 3 3+Spare Stores parity Total capacity of all information on the hard disks minus independent hard disk two disks capacity & spare disk. Very High High 4 5+Spare Stores parity information on all the hard disks & spare disk.
Chapter 2 iSCSI Introduction and Glossary 2.1 What is iSCSI? SCSI (Small Computer Standard Interface) is an ANSI standard parallel interface used by a computer to link up with peripheral devices. As it offers faster transfer rates than other standard interfaces, it is commonly used in workstations and servers as the interface of HDD and other storage devices. A iSCSI (Internet SCSI) is a protocol that integrates SCSI protocol into TCP/IP packet in order to link storage device with servers over a network.
Figure 2.2.1 iSCSI initiator is essential to the host side. It is controlling SCSI in an iSCSI implementation. Its role can be played as either software or hardware (HBA). Please refer to the iSCSI HBA card list in Appendix A to confirm if your HBA card is supported. Initiator software adopts standard TCP/IP protocol and Ethernet facilities while iSCSI HBA card uses vendor-proprietary iSCSI and TCP/IP protocols. iSCSI HBA card vendors will provide proprietary initiator tools.

It provides users chances to take actions before possible hard disks failure. S.M.A.R.T. measures many attributes of the hard disk realtime and detects if the hard disk is moving out of threshold tolerance.
Shutdown Delay (s) If power failure occurs, and the system cannot return back after the specified period of time, the system will shut down automatically. Setting the value to “0” will disable this function. Shutdown UPS If ON is selected, when power is gone, UPS will shut down automatically after the system shuts down successfully. After power comes back, UPS will start working and notify the system to boot up. Selecting “OFF” will disable this function. Status The status of UPS.
During the upgrade, a status window will appear. The system will reboot after the update. Remind : If currently your system is working properly, upgrading firmware is optional.

Chapter 5 Advanced Operation 5.1 Rebuild When A Volume Group (VG) is protected by RAID level (e.g.: RAID 3, RAID 5, or RAID 6), if one physical disk has been failed, unplugged or removed, the VG status is changed to rebuild. The system will search for available space to rebuild the data to ensure data integrity. It will use the dedicated spare disk as rebuild disk first, then the global spare disk. Sans Digital iSCSI Series Products support the Auto-Rebuild function.
RAID 5 (striping with interspersed parity). Allows one hard disk to fail or being unplugged. RAID 6 (2-dimensional parity protection). RAID 6 allows two hard disks to fail or being unplugged. If two hard disks need to be rebuilt at the same time, it will rebuild the first one and then the other one. RAID 0+1 (mirroring of the member RAID 0). Allows two hard disks to fail or being unplugged, but the hard disks must in the same array. RAID 10 (striping over the member RAID 1).
5.3 UDV Expansion To expand UDV size, please follow the steps below. 1. Select “/Volume config/User data volume” ” button next to the number in the Size field. 2. Select the UDV to be expanded and click the “ 3. Change the volume size. The volume size must be larger than the original value. Then click “ ” to start expansion 4. Expansion starts.
Chapter 6 Application Description As Sans Digital iSCSI Series Products supports dual Gigabit ports, it provides more extensive applications. The following are the examples: 6.1 Sharing Resources Since iSCSI is using IP based, you can connect Sans Digital iSCSI Series Products to multipule computer using IP network. Once all the computers in the network are installed with initiator, they can use Sans Digital iSCSI Series Products as local hard disks. Please refer to Figure 6.1. Figure 6.
6.2 Easy Storage Capacity Expansion Sans Digital iSCSI Series Products are equipped with 4 eSATA extension interface. When your existing storage volume is not enough, you can add a 4 bays JBOD system, such as MS4T and ES104T to upgrade your storage RAID system to 8 bays. It is easy for you to expand the volume anytime. Figure 6.2 6.3 Remote Access As the Sans Digital iSCSI Series Products are implemented based on IP, they support the network “remote access”.
