    Available RAID Configurations The following RAID levels and configurations are available for drives attached to a 9590SE-4ME 3ware RAID controller: • RAID 0 • RAID 1 • RAID 5 • RAID 10 • Single Disk • Hot Spare For how to configure RAID units, see “Configuring a New Unit” on page 34. RAID 0 RAID 0 provides improved performance, but no fault tolerance.

Fault tolerance is a basic requirement for critical systems like web and database servers. 3ware uses a patented technology, TwinStor®, on RAID 1 arrays for improved performance during sequential read operations.
  • Page 17 Understanding RAID Concepts and Levels RAID 10 RAID 10 is a combination of striped and mirrored arrays for fault tolerance and high performance. When drives are configured as a striped mirrored array, the disks are configured using both RAID 0 and RAID 1 techniques, thus the name RAID 10 (see Figure 4).

    Note: 3ware’s 9000 series RAID controllers use drive coercion so that drives from differing manufacturers and with slightly different capacities are more likely to be able to be used as spares for each other. Drive coercion slightly decreases the usable capacity of a drive that is used in redundant units. The capacity used for each drive is rounded down to the nearest GB for drives under 45 GB (45,000,000,000 bytes), and rounded down to the nearest 5 GBytes for drives over 45 GB.

    Expanding Unit Capacity You can expand a unit's capacity by adding one or more drives to it without changing the RAID level, except for singles and RAID 1 units. (Since a single can only have one drive, and a RAID 1 can only have two drives, if you add a drive to either, the RAID level must be changed.) For a RAID 5 with 3 drives, you can change the capacity by adding a forth drive.

  • Page 77: About Initialization

    About Initialization For 3ware SATA RAID controllers, initialize means to put the redundant data on the drives of redundant units into a known state so that data can be recovered in the event of a disk drive failure. For RAID 1 and 10, initialization copies the data from the lower port to the higher port.

  • Page 79 Background Tasks What Verification Does For a RAID 1 or RAID 10 unit, a verify compares the data of one mirror with the other. For RAID 5, a verify calculates RAID 5 parity and compares it to what is written on the disk drive. Verification checks each sector on a drive.

  • Page 80: Starting A Verify Manually

If you set a schedule for rebuilds that does not include the current time, the rebuild process will pause.

  • Page 84: Background Task Prioritization

    Chapter 6. Maintaining Units Background Task Prioritization Although migration tasks follow the same schedule as rebuild and initialization tasks, they are always given the highest priority because of the controller and disk resources required during migration. Once a unit is put into the migration state, it must be allowed to complete the process.
