  • Page 26: Fault Tolerance

    To protect against data loss from hard drive failure, storage servers should be configured with fault tolerance. HP recommends adhering to RAID 5 configurations. The table below summarizes the important features of the different kinds of RAID supported by the Smart Array controllers.

  • Page 28: Logical Drives (Luns)

    file system. The WebUI has two types of LUN presentation, basic disk and dynamic disk. Each of these types of disk has special features that enable different types of management. Logical drives (LUNs) While an array is a physical grouping of hard drives, a logical drive consists of components that translate physical storage elements into file system elements.

  • Page 29: Partitions

    NOTE: See the section “Dynamic Growth” in the administration guide for additional information on LUN extension and use by the operating system. Partitions Partitions exist as either Primary Partitions or Extended Partitions and can be composed of only one Basic disk no larger than 2 TB. Basic disks can also only contain up to four primary partitions, or three primary partitions and one extended partition.

  • Page 30: File System Elements

    In general, HP recommends utilizing the Array controller for the management of fault tolerance over the use of Windows Storage Server 2003 software RAID since it places an additional level of operating system overhead on volumes. If mount points are utilized, it should be noted that Services for UNIX does not support mount points at this time.

    NTFS formatted. Also, quota management is possible only on NTFS. Clustered Server Elements Select storage servers support clustering. The HP ProLiant Storage Server supports several file-sharing protocols, including DFS, NFS, FTP, HTTP, and Microsoft SMB. Only NFS, FTP, and Microsoft SMB are cluster-aware protocols.
  • Page 32 Permissions can then be granted to those shares based on users or groups of users in each of the file sharing protocols. If your storage server model supports clustering, see the HP ProLiant Storage Server Administration Guide for complete details on cluster setup.
