Page 15: Raid 4 - Data Striping With A Dedicated Parity Drive
RAID 4 - Data Striping with a Dedicated Parity Drive RAID 4 (Figure 3) works in the same way as RAID 0. The data is striped across the hard disk drives and the controller calculates redundancy data (parity information) that is stored on a separate hard disk drive (P1, P2). -
Page 16: Raid 5 - Data Striping With Striped Parity
RAID 4 and RAID 5 are particularly suitable for systems with medium to large capacity requirements, due to their efficient ratio of installed and available capacity. RAID 5 requires a minimum of three disks. Figure 4. RAID 5 Intel RAID SRCU31 Users Guide... -
Page 17: Raid 10 - Combination Of Raid 1 And Raid 0
RAID 10 - Combination of RAID 1 and RAID 0 RAID 10 is a combination of RAID 0 (Performance) and RAID 1 (Data Security). Unlike RAID 4 and RAID 5, there is no need to calculate parity information. RAID 10 disk arrays offer good performance and data security (Figure 5). -

Page 19: Levels Of Drive Hierarchy Within The Intel Raid Controller Srcu31 Firmware
On the next higher level are the logical drives. Logical drives are introduced to obtain full independence of the physical coordinates of a physical device. This is necessary to easily change the Intel RAID Controller SRCU31 and the channels, IDs, without loosing the data and the information on a specific disk array. -

Using CD-ROMs, DATs, Tapes, etc. A SCSI device that is not a SCSI hard disk drive or a removable hard disk drive, or that does not behave like one, is called a Non-Direct Access Device. Such a device is not configured with StorCon and does not become a logical drive or host drive. - Page 22 Intel RAID SRCU31 Users Guide...

Page 23: Getting Started
2 Getting Started What is the Intel RAID Controller SRCU31 Firmware? We refer to firmware as the operating system that controls the Intel RAID Controller SRCU31 with all its functions and capabilities. The firmware exclusively runs on the Intel RAID Controller SRCU31 and is stored in the Flash-RAM on the Intel RAID Controller SRCU31 PCB. -
Page 24: Raid Hardware Installation And Setup
Server Board The RAID firmware has already been programmed into the memory. Prior to installing the Intel RAID Controller SRCU31 into the computer, an approved memory module must be installed in the controller. For a list of approved memory modules refer to:... -
Page 25: Attach Scsi Cables
The Intel RAID Controller SRCU31 normally comes ready to be immediately installed into the computer server board. However, you may need to reprogram the RAID Firmware that’s located in the flash memory of the Intel RAID Controller SRCU31. Refer to Chapter 7, Firmware Update, for a normal reprogram of the firmware. -
Page 26: Recover The Firmware In The Flash Memory
Take all precautions to prevent ESD damage before handling the Intel RAID Controller SRCU31. b. Power off all system components and disconnect their power cords. -
Page 27: Scsi Termination
Remove the Intel RAID Controller SRCU31 from your system. d. On jumper block J7A1, move jumper from position 1-2 to position 2-3. Reinstall the Intel RAID Controller SRCU31 in the PCI slot in which it was previously installed. Reattach the SCSI drives to the adapter card. -
Page 28: Choosing A Configuration
How Many Hard Disk Drives Should Be Integrated Into the Disk Array? The number of physical drives the Intel RAID Controller SRCU31 can run determines the maximum number of physical drives in a disk array. The minimum number of hard disk drives required for any array depends of the RAID level you wish to realize. -

The Retries counter records the number of retries to a hard disk drive (the counter is incremented by one unit whenever the Intel RAID Controller SRCU31 retries to access a hard disk drive. If the counter continues to increase, it is likely that the cable is not adequate for the selected data transfer rate (cable is too long, of poor quality or connectors are of poor quality) or that the SCSI bus is not properly terminated (too many terminators on the cable or a missing terminator). -
Page 90: The Reassigns Counter
The Grown Defects counter records the number of media defects that have occurred since the device was first operated with an Intel RAID Controller SRCU31. A hard disk drive is in good condition when it has 0 grown defects. Any value greater than 0 indicates a grown defect condition. -

Page 93: Host Drive States
Host Drive States After clicking on Configure Host Drives, StorCon displays a list of existing host drives. In a new system this list shows no host drive entries. In the example in Figure 24 one host drive is available, and it is a RAID 5 array drive (with approximate 17 GB capacity). The status is ready, meaning that this host drive is fully available and redundant. - Page 94 Pressing <F4> delivers level-by-level detailed information on a host drive and its components. This may assist in getting an overview of a specific host drive. After pressing <F5>, the Intel RAID Controller SRCU31 switches the LEDs (if available) of the hard disk drives belonging to that host drive on and off.

Intel RAID Controller SRCU31s is very easy and secure, even if the SCSI IDs and channels are changed. Simply connect the hard disk drives to the new Intel RAID Controller SRCU31, and the host drives will be automatically available. See Figure 37. -
Page 102: Firmware Update
Possible SCSI IDs for the channel Firmware Update The firmware, BIOS and StorCon program of the Intel RAID Controller SRCU31 are stored in Flash-RAM which is part of the Intel RAID Controller SRCU31 hardware. In contrast to EPROMs, Flash-RAMs can be reprogrammed many times without the complicated UV-light erasing procedure. -

The major objective of SAF-TE or SES is auto hot plug. In contrast to hot plug, auto hot plug allows a defective drive to be simply removed from the subsystem and the replacement unit installed in its place. -
