Chapter 1 Introduction The RAID subsystem is a Ultra 3 LVD SCSI-to-EIDE RAID (Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks) disk array subsystem. It consists of a RAID disk array controller, an environment controller and eight (8) disk trays. The subsystem is a “Host Independent” RAID subsystem supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5 and 0+1. Regardless of the RAID level the subsystem is configured for, each RAID array consists of a set of disks which to the user appears to be a single large disk capacity. One unique feature of these RAID levels is that data is spread across separate disks as a result of the redundant manner in which data is stored in a RAID array. If a disk in the RAID array fails, the subsystem continues to function without any risk of data loss. This is because redundant information is stored separately from the data. This redundant information will then be used to reconstruct any data that was stored on a failed disk. In other words, the subsystem can tolerate the failure of a drive without losing data while operating independently of each other. The subsystem is also equipped with an environment controller which is capable of accurately monitoring the internal environment of the subsystem such as its power supplies, fans, temperatures and voltages. The disk trays allow you to install any type of 3.5-inch hard drive. Its modular design allows hotswapping of hard drives without interrupting the subsystem’s operation.

Chapter 4 SCSI Configuration Guidelines Before configuring the subsystem, you must first understand some basic SCSI concepts so that the subsystem and SCSI devices will function properly.
4.1 SCSI IDs A SCSI ID is an identifier assigned to SCSI devices which enables them to communicate with a computer when they are attached to a host adapter via the SCSI bus. Each SCSI device, and the host adapter itself, must have a SCSI ID number (Ultra 160 Wide SCSI = 0 to 15). The ID defines each SCSI device on the SCSI bus. If there are more than one SCSI adapter in the Host subsystem, each adapter forms a separate SCSI bus. SCSI IDs can be reused as long as the ID is assigned to a device on a separate SCSI bus. Refer to the documentation that came with your peripheral device to determine the ID and how to change it.
4.2 Terminators Based on SCSI specifications, the SCSI bus must be terminated at both ends, meaning the devices that are connected to the ends of the SCSI bus must have their bus terminators enabled. Devices connected in the middle of the SCSI bus must have their terminators disabled. Proper termination allows data and SCSI commands to be transmitted reliably on the SCSI bus. The host adapter and the SCSI devices attached to it must be properly terminated, or they will not work reliably. Termination means that terminators are installed in the devices at each end of the bus. Some SCSI devices require you to manually insert or remove the SCSI Configuration Guidelines

terminators. Other devices have built-in terminators that are enabled or disabled via switches or software commands. Refer to the device’s documentation on how to enable or disable termination.
Attach the terminator included in the package to the Host Channel A & Host Channel B port before using the subsystem.

Before configuring the subsystem, make sure the subsystem is able to detect all the hard drives in the subsystem. This is to ensure that the disk trays and hard drives are functioning normally. While subsystem detects the hard drives after it is powered on, the characters at the bottom left corner of the screen will turn from “X” to “I” and will become “S” or “O” for the hard drives that have been detected. If there are four hard drives installed, the screen will appear as shown below after the hard drives have been detected.
{ Model Name} SSSSSSSS Disk 8
Disk 1
The characters on the second line of the screen denote the status of the hard drives installed in the subsystem. The first character from right to left refers to the first drive, the second character refers to the second drive and so on.
Disk Status “X” “I” “S” “O” “A” “R”

No hard drive is installed in the slot. Detecting the hard drive in the slot. The hard drive in the slot is a spare drive or an online spare drive. The hard drive is online or operational. Rebuilding the newly replaced drive. The previous online drive has been removed.
A “ ” symbol flashing at the lower right corner of the screen indicates that the subsystem is functioning normally. The “ ” becomes “zZ” if the host is accessing the subsystem. It becomes “wW” when memory is writing the cache to a hard drive. If it is not flashing, there is a problem with the subsystem.

Chapter 6 Configuring the Subsystem The subsystem has a setup configuration utility built in containing important information about the configuration as well as settings for various optional functions in the subsystem. This chapter explains how to use and make changes to the setup utility.
6.1 Configuration Methods There are two methods of configuring the subsystem. You may configure through the LCD panel or by connecting a terminal or PC to the serial monitor port located at the rear of the subsystem.
!
Important: The subsystem allows you to access the utility using only one method at a time. You cannot use both methods at the same time.
6.1.1 Configuring through a Terminal Configuring through a terminal will allow you to use the same configuration options and functions that are available from the LCD panel. To start-up: 1.
Connect a VT100 compatible terminal or a PC operating in an equiva lent terminal emulation mode to the monitor port located at the rear of the subsystem.
! 2.
Note: You may connect a terminal while the subsystem’s power is on. Power-on the terminal.
Configuring the Subsystem
6-1
3.
Run the VT100 program or an equivalent terminal program.

Appendix A RAID Levels 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. The array of drives appears to the host computer as a single logical drive. The Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of the array is equal to the MTBF of an individual drive, divided by the number of drives in the array. Because of this, the MTBF of a non-redundant array (RAID 0) is too low for mission-critical systems. However, disk arrays can be made fault-tolerant by redundantly storing information in various ways. Five types of array architectures, RAID 1 through RAID 5, were originally defined, each provides disk fault-tolerance with different compromises in features and performance. In addition to these five redundant array architectures, it has become popular to refer to a non-redundant array of disk drives as a RAID 0 array.
Disk Striping Fundamental to RAID technology is striping. This is a method of combining multiple drives into one logical storage unit. Striping partitions the storage space of each drive into stripes, which can be as small as one sector (512 bytes) or as large as several megabytes. These stripes are then interleaved in a rotating sequence, so that the combined space is composed alternately of stripes from each drive. The specific type of operating environment determines whether large or small stripes should be used.
RAID Levels
A-1
Most operating systems today support concurrent disk I/O operations across multiple drives. However, in order to maximize throughput for the disk subsystem, the I/O load must be balanced across all the drives so that each drive can be kept busy as much as possible. In a multiple drive system without striping, the disk I/O load is never perfectly balanced. Some drives will contain data files that are frequently accessed and some drives will rarely be accessed.
By striping the drives in the array with stripes large enough so that each record falls entirely within one stripe, most records can be evenly distributed across all drives. This keeps all drives in the array busy during heavy load situations. This situation allows all drives to work concurrently on different I/O operations, and thus maximize the number of simultaneous I/O operations that can be performed by the array.
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. The disadvantage is that if one drive in a RAID 0 array fails, the entire array fails.
A-2
RAID Levels
RAID 1, also known as disk mirroring, is simply a pair of disk drives that store duplicate data but appear to the computer as a single drive. although striping is not used within a single mirrored drive pair, multiple RAID 1 arrays can be striped together to create a single large array consisting of pairs of mirrored drives. All writes must go to both drives of a mirrored pair so that the information on the drives is kept identical. However, each individual drive can perform simultaneous, independent read operations. Mirroring thus doubles the read performance of a single non-mirrored drive and while the write performance is unchanged. RAID 1 delivers the best performance of any redundant array type. In addition, there is less performance degradation during drive failure than in RAID 5 arrays.
RAID Levels
A-3
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. Records typically span all drives, which optimizes the disk transfer rate. Because each I/O request accesses every drive in the array, RAID 3 arrays can satisfy only one I/O request at a time. RAID 3 delivers the best performance for single-user, single-tasking environments with long records. Synchronized-spindle drives are required for RAID 3 arrays in order to avoid performance degradation with short records. RAID 5 arrays with small stripes can yield similar performance to RAID 3 arrays.
Under RAID 5 parity information is distributed across all the drives. Since there is no dedicated parity drive, all drives contain data and read operations can be overlapped on every drive in the array. Write operations will typically access one data drive and one parity drive. However, because different records store their parity on different drives, write operations can usually be overlapped.
A-4
RAID Levels
Dual-level RAID achieves a balance between the increased data availability inherent in RAID 1 and RAID 5 and the increased read performance inherent in disk striping (RAID 0). These arrays are sometimes referred to as RAID 0+1 or RAID 10 and RAID 0+5 or RAID 50. In summary: ·
RAID 0 is the fastest and most efficient array type but offers no faulttolerance. RAID 0 requires a minimum of two drives.
·
RAID 1 is the best choice for performance-critical, fault-tolerant environments. RAID 1 is the only choice for fault-tolerance if no more than two drives are used.
·
RAID 3 can be used to speed up data transfer and provide fault-tolerance in single-user environments that access long sequential records. However, RAID 3 does not allow overlapping of multiple I/O operations and requires synchronized-spindle drives to avoid performance degradation with short records. RAID 5 with a small stripe size offers similar performance.
·
RAID 5 combines efficient, fault-tolerant data storage with good performance characteristics. However, write performance and performance during drive failure is slower than with RAID 1. Rebuild operations also require more time than with RAID 1 because parity information is also reconstructed. At least three drives are required for RAID 5 arrays. RAID Levels

Chapter 1 Introduction The RAID subsystem is a Ultra 3 LVD SCSI-to-EIDE RAID (Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks) disk array subsystem. It consists of a RAID disk array controller, an environment controller and eight (8) disk trays. The subsystem is a “Host Independent” RAID subsystem supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5 and 0+1. Regardless of the RAID level the subsystem is configured for, each RAID array consists of a set of disks which to the user appears to be a single large disk capacity. One unique feature of these RAID levels is that data is spread across separate disks as a result of the redundant manner in which data is stored in a RAID array. If a disk in the RAID array fails, the subsystem continues to function without any risk of data loss. This is because redundant information is stored separately from the data. This redundant information will then be used to reconstruct any data that was stored on a failed disk. In other words, the subsystem can tolerate the failure of a drive without losing data while operating independently of each other. The subsystem is also equipped with an environment controller which is capable of accurately monitoring the internal environment of the subsystem such as its power supplies, fans, temperatures and voltages. The disk trays allow you to install any type of 3.5-inch hard drive. Its modular design allows hotswapping of hard drives without interrupting the subsystem’s operation.

If the output voltage is over or under +5V or +12V (5V: over 5.5V / under 4.5V , 12V: over 13.8V / under 10.2V), the “ ” Out voltage LED on the front panel will turn red and an alarm will sound. An error message will also appear on the LCD screen on the panel warning of voltage irregularity. Press the Reset button to stop the alarm. Refer to Appendix C (environment controller) for more information. Some of the more common causes leading to unstable output voltage of a power supply are: • •
The power supply is not functioning normally. Replace the defective power supply. The AC input from the power outlet to the subsystem is unstable.
3.8 Memory Upgrades The subsystem is equipped with one DIMM sockets. By default, the system unit comes with 128MB of memory. Important: • supports 144-pin Sync. SDRAM DIMM only. • 60ns module is recommended.

Chapter 4 SCSI Configuration Guidelines Before configuring the subsystem, you must first understand some basic SCSI concepts so that the subsystem and SCSI devices will function properly.
4.1 SCSI IDs A SCSI ID is an identifier assigned to SCSI devices which enables them to communicate with a computer when they are attached to a host adapter via the SCSI bus. Each SCSI device, and the host adapter itself, must have a SCSI ID number (Ultra 160 Wide SCSI = 0 to 15). The ID defines each SCSI device on the SCSI bus. If there are more than one SCSI adapter in the Host subsystem, each adapter forms a separate SCSI bus. SCSI IDs can be reused as long as the ID is assigned to a device on a separate SCSI bus. Refer to the documentation that came with your peripheral device to determine the ID and how to change it.
4.2 Terminators Based on SCSI specifications, the SCSI bus must be terminated at both ends, meaning the devices that are connected to the ends of the SCSI bus must have their bus terminators enabled. Devices connected in the middle of the SCSI bus must have their terminators disabled. Proper termination allows data and SCSI commands to be transmitted reliably on the SCSI bus. The host adapter and the SCSI devices attached to it must be properly terminated, or they will not work reliably. Termination means that terminators are installed in the devices at each end of the bus. Some SCSI devices require you to manually insert or remove the SCSI Configuration Guidelines
4-1
terminators. Other devices have built-in terminators that are enabled or disabled via switches or software commands. Refer to the device’s documentation on how to enable or disable termination.
Attach the terminator included in the package to the Host Channel A & Host Channel B port before using the subsystem.

Before configuring the subsystem, make sure the subsystem is able to detect all the hard drives in the subsystem. This is to ensure that the disk trays and hard drives are functioning normally. While subsystem detects the hard drives after it is powered on, the characters at the bottom left corner of the screen will turn from “X” to “I” and will become “S” or “O” for the hard drives that have been detected. If there are four hard drives installed, the screen will appear as shown below after the hard drives have been detected.
{ Model Name} SSSSSSSS Disk 8
Disk 1
The characters on the second line of the screen denote the status of the hard drives installed in the subsystem. The first character from right to left refers to the first drive, the second character refers to the second drive and so on.

Chapter 6 Configuring the Subsystem The subsystem has a setup configuration utility built in containing important information about the configuration as well as settings for various optional functions in the subsystem. This chapter explains how to use and make changes to the setup utility.
6.1 Configuration Methods There are two methods of configuring the subsystem. You may configure through the LCD panel or by connecting a terminal or PC to the serial monitor port located at the rear of the subsystem.
!
Important: The subsystem allows you to access the utility using only one method at a time. You cannot use both methods at the same time.
6.1.1 Configuring through a Terminal Configuring through a terminal will allow you to use the same configuration options and functions that are available from the LCD panel. To start-up: 1.
Connect a VT100 compatible terminal or a PC operating in an equiva lent terminal emulation mode to the monitor port located at the rear of the subsystem.
! 2.
Note: You may connect a terminal while the subsystem’s power is on. Power-on the terminal.

Appendix A RAID Levels 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. The array of drives appears to the host computer as a single logical drive. The Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of the array is equal to the MTBF of an individual drive, divided by the number of drives in the array. Because of this, the MTBF of a non-redundant array (RAID 0) is too low for mission-critical systems. However, disk arrays can be made fault-tolerant by redundantly storing information in various ways. Five types of array architectures, RAID 1 through RAID 5, were originally defined, each provides disk fault-tolerance with different compromises in features and performance. In addition to these five redundant array architectures, it has become popular to refer to a non-redundant array of disk drives as a RAID 0 array.
Disk Striping Fundamental to RAID technology is striping. This is a method of combining multiple drives into one logical storage unit. Striping partitions the storage space of each drive into stripes, which can be as small as one sector (512 bytes) or as large as several megabytes. These stripes are then interleaved in a rotating sequence, so that the combined space is composed alternately of stripes from each drive. The specific type of operating environment determines whether large or small stripes should be used.
RAID Levels
A-1
Most operating systems today support concurrent disk I/O operations across multiple drives. However, in order to maximize throughput for the disk subsystem, the I/O load must be balanced across all the drives so that each drive can be kept busy as much as possible. In a multiple drive system without striping, the disk I/O load is never perfectly balanced. Some drives will contain data files that are frequently accessed and some drives will rarely be accessed.
By striping the drives in the array with stripes large enough so that each record falls entirely within one stripe, most records can be evenly distributed across all drives. This keeps all drives in the array busy during heavy load situations. This situation allows all drives to work concurrently on different I/O operations, and thus maximize the number of simultaneous I/O operations that can be performed by the array.
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. The disadvantage is that if one drive in a RAID 0 array fails, the entire array fails.
A-2
RAID Levels
RAID 1, also known as disk mirroring, is simply a pair of disk drives that store duplicate data but appear to the computer as a single drive. although striping is not used within a single mirrored drive pair, multiple RAID 1 arrays can be striped together to create a single large array consisting of pairs of mirrored drives. All writes must go to both drives of a mirrored pair so that the information on the drives is kept identical. However, each individual drive can perform simultaneous, independent read operations. Mirroring thus doubles the read performance of a single non-mirrored drive and while the write performance is unchanged. RAID 1 delivers the best performance of any redundant array type. In addition, there is less performance degradation during drive failure than in RAID 5 arrays.
RAID Levels
A-3
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. Records typically span all drives, which optimizes the disk transfer rate. Because each I/O request accesses every drive in the array, RAID 3 arrays can satisfy only one I/O request at a time. RAID 3 delivers the best performance for single-user, single-tasking environments with long records. Synchronized-spindle drives are required for RAID 3 arrays in order to avoid performance degradation with short records. RAID 5 arrays with small stripes can yield similar performance to RAID 3 arrays.
Under RAID 5 parity information is distributed across all the drives. Since there is no dedicated parity drive, all drives contain data and read operations can be overlapped on every drive in the array. Write operations will typically access one data drive and one parity drive. However, because different records store their parity on different drives, write operations can usually be overlapped.

RAID Levels
Dual-level RAID achieves a balance between the increased data availability inherent in RAID 1 and RAID 5 and the increased read performance inherent in disk striping (RAID 0). These arrays are sometimes referred to as RAID 0+1 or RAID 10 and RAID 0+5 or RAID 50. In summary: ·
RAID 0 is the fastest and most efficient array type but offers no faulttolerance. RAID 0 requires a minimum of two drives.
·
RAID 1 is the best choice for performance-critical, fault-tolerant environments. RAID 1 is the only choice for fault-tolerance if no more than two drives are used.
·
RAID 3 can be used to speed up data transfer and provide fault-tolerance in single-user environments that access long sequential records. However, RAID 3 does not allow overlapping of multiple I/O operations and requires synchronized-spindle drives to avoid performance degradation with short records. RAID 5 with a small stripe size offers similar performance.
·
RAID 5 combines efficient, fault-tolerant data storage with good performance characteristics. However, write performance and performance during drive failure is slower than with RAID 1. Rebuild operations also require more time than with RAID 1 because parity information is also reconstructed. At least three drives are required for RAID 5 arrays. RAID Levels
