Page 146: Appendix A Volume Construction & Raid Configuration
. RAID trouble shooting Appendix A Volume Construction & RAID Configuration This section describes volume configuration and supported RAID level. When configuring volume using RAID, the use of Disks of the same manufacturer and capacity is recommended to maximize stability and efficiency of configuration. In the case that the Disks differ in capacity and trademark, data may be lost due to low system stability and efficiency. - Page 147 . RAID trouble shooting ∙ RAID1 mirroring volumes Data can be exactly replicated to the Disk through this technique. If one Disk becomes damaged in the volume, data can be efficiently transferred, saved and backed up to another configured Disk. The volume’s storage capacity is equal to that of the smallest Disk in the RAID1, as the data is reproduced from Disk to Disk.
- Page 148 . RAID trouble shooting ∙ RAID0 striping volume The Disks are configured in parallel so that they are all being used at once to store data, as if they were one Disk in summation. Because the data is saved to each Disk in parallel, many files of low capacity are read simultaneously but with superior efficiency.
- Page 149 . RAID trouble shooting ∙ JBOD Linear volume The Disks are configured in series so that they are all being used at once to store data, as if they were one Disk in summation. The volume’s storage capacity can be maximized, as the data is stored to the Disks in sequence.
- Page 150 . RAID trouble shooting ∙ RAID Parity volume The Disks are configured in parallel so as to all be used at once to store data; parity (P) suggests that when the Disk is damaged the system will not be affected, which is the system that the volume uses.
- Page 151 RAID0 and hence the volume as a whole is configured. With more than 4 Disks present, configuration occurs in pairs. 4 Disks are used to configure the LG NAS. If Disk damage does not happen simultaneously to 2 Disks configured through RAID1, the volume will continue to function.
