  • Page 35: Chapter 3 Getting Started With The System

    Chapter 3 Getting Started with the System 3.1 Connecting the RAID Subsystem to the Host This section describes how to connect the EP-2126-SS to your host system. The subsystem supports Ultra 320 SCSI LVD interface which provides fast 320MB/s data transfer rates using a 16-bit SCSI bus. Installation of the disk array is very similar to the installation of a standard SCSI drive.

  • Page 36: Scsi Termination

    SCSI to SCSI RAID Subsystem 7. Attach a SCSI terminator to the other SCSI Host Channel connector (Host Channel A Out port). Make sure to tighten the lock screws of the SCSI terminator. 8. If you want to configure subsystem into multi-host attachment, connect another host system using the other external SCSI cable to the other SCSI Host Channel (B).
  • Page 37 SCSI to SCSI RAID Subsystem Correct SCSI termination procedures require that the last device on the SCSI bus be terminated. If the last device is not terminated or if devices other than the last are terminated, erratic SCSI bus performance may occur. Typically, the system or host adapter (SCSI card inside the host computer) is the first device and is already terminated.

  • Page 38: Chapter 4 Raid Concepts

    SCSI to SCSI RAID Subsystem Chapter 4 RAID Concepts 4.1 RAID Fundamentals The basic idea of RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is to combine multiple inexpensive disk drives into an array of disk drives to obtain performance, capacity and reliability that exceeds that of a single large drive.
  • Page 39 SCSI to SCSI RAID Subsystem Definition of RAID Levels RAID 0 is typically defined as a group of striped disk drives without parity or data redundancy. RAID 0 arrays can be configured with large stripes for multi-user environments or small stripes for single-user systems that access long sequential records. RAID 0 arrays deliver the best data storage efficiency and performance of any array type.
  • Page 40 SCSI to SCSI RAID Subsystem RAID 3 sector-stripes data across groups of drives, but one drive in the group is dedicated to storing parity information. RAID 3 relies on the embedded ECC in each sector for error detection. In the case of drive failure, data recovery is accomplished by calculating the exclusive OR (XOR) of the information recorded on the remaining drives.
  • Page 41 SCSI to SCSI RAID Subsystem RAID 6 is similar to RAID 5 in that data protection is achieved by writing parity information to the physical drives in the array. With RAID 6, however, two sets of parity data are used. These two sets are different, and each set occupies a capacity equivalent to that of one of the constituent drives.

  • Page 42: Raid Management

    SCSI to SCSI RAID Subsystem RAID Management The subsystem can implement several different levels of RAID technology. RAID levels supported by the subsystem are shown below. RAID Description Level Drives Linear is similar to RAID 0 in that it combines the capacity of all member drives.

    SCSI to SCSI RAID Subsystem 4.2 SCSI Concepts Before configuring the subsystem, you must first understand some basic SCSI concepts so that the subsystem and SCSI devices will function properly. 4.2.1 Multiple SCSI Format Support The subsystem support the SCSI interface standards listed below. Note that the data bit and cable length restrictions must be followed.

    SCSI to SCSI RAID Subsystem 4.3 Disk Drive Organization The subsystem arranges the SCSI drives connected to it as a physical drive group and logical unit (LUN). 4.3.1 Physical Drive Groups The subsystem has up to a maximum of twelve (12) individual disk drives which can be used to form a physical drive group.
