4 Server Storage

Overview

The storage server is configured at the factory with default system settings
and with the operating system installed. This chapter provides additional
details about the pre-configured storage configurations for the following
storage servers:
• ML110 G1 and DL100 ProLiant Storage Servers
• ML110 G2 ProLiant Storage Servers
• 300 and 500 series ProLiant Storage Servers
Further protection against data loss can be achieved by assigning an
online spare (or hot spare) to any configuration except RAID 0. This hard
drive contains no data and is contained within the same storage sub
system as the other drives in the array. When a hard drive in the array
fails, the controller can then automatically rebuild information that was
originally on the failed drive onto the online spare. This quickly restores the
system to full RAID level fault tolerance protection. However, unless RAID
ADG is being used, which can support two drive failures in an array, in the
unlikely event that a third drive in the array should fail while data is being
rewritten to the spare, the logical drive will still fail.
NOTE:
For enterprise classe storage servers, storage limitations are based on the
type of SAN the storage server is connected to. See the individual SAN
documentation for limitations of Windows Storage Server 2003.
