1-8 Chapter 1: Product introduction

This chapter provides instructions on setting

up, creating, and conguring RAID sets using

the available utilities.

Chapter 2: RAID

conguration

2.1 Setting up RAID

The RAID card supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, RAID 5, RAID 50, RAID 6, and RAID 60 set(s).

2.1.1 RAID denitions

RAID 0

(Data striping)

data in parallel, interleaved stacks. Two hard disks perform the same work as a single drive but at a sustained data transfer rate, double that of a single disk alone, thus improving data access and storage. Use of at least two new identical hard disk drives is required for this setup.

RAID 1

(Data mirroring)

drive to a second drive. If one drive fails, the disk array management software directs all applications to the surviving drive as it contains a complete copy of

the data in the other drive. This RAID conguration provides data protection and

increases fault tolerance to the entire system. Use two new drives or use an existing drive and a new drive for this setup. The new drive must be of the same

size or larger than the existing drive.

RAID 10 is a striped conguration with RAID 1 segments whose segments are RAID 1 arrays. This conguration has the same fault tolerance as RAID 1, and

has the same overhead for fault-tolerance as mirroring alone. RAID 10 achieves high input/output rates by striping RAID 1 segments. In some instances, a RAID

10 conguration can sustain multiple simultaneous drive failure. A minimum of four

hard disk drives is required for this setup.

RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more hard

disk drives. Among the advantages of RAID 5 conguration include better

HDD performance, fault tolerance, and higher storage capacity. The RAID

5 conguration is best suited for transaction processing, relational database

applications, enterprise resource planning, and other business systems. Use a minimum of three identical hard disk drives for this setup.

RAID 50 is a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 5. It uses distributed parity and disk striping and works best with data that requires high reliability, high request rates, high data transfers, and medium-to-large capacity.

optimizes two identical hard disk drives to read and write

copies and maintains an identical image of data from one

Having RAID 0 and RAID 5 virtual disks in the same physical array is not recommended. If a drive in the physical array has to be rebuilt, the RAID 0 virtual disk will cause a failure during the rebuild.

RAID 6 stripes dual parity to provide fault tolerance from two drive failures; array

continues to operate with up to two failed drives. This makes larger RAID groups more practical, especially for high availability systems. With dual parity, RAID 6 gives time to rebuild the array without the data being volatile while the failed drive is being recovered.

2-2 Chapter 2: RAID conguration

RAID 60 is a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 6. It uses distributed parity, with two independent parity blocks per stripe in each RAID set, and disk striping. A RAID 60 virtual disk can survive the loss of two disks in each of the RAID 6 sets without losing data. It works best with data that requires high reliability, high request rates, high data transfers, and medium-to-large capacity.

If you want to boot the system from a hard disk drive included in a created RAID

set, copy rst the RAID driver from the support CD to a oppy disk before you

install an operating system to the selected hard disk drive.

2.1.2 Installing hard disk drives

The RAID card supports SAS for RAID set conguration. For optimal performance,

install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.

To install SAS hard disks for RAID conguration:

1. Install the SAS hard disks into the drive bays following the instructions in the system user guide.

2. Connect the SAS port connectors to the SAS drives.

ASUS PIKE 1078 2-3

2.2 LSI WebBIOS Conguration Utility

The LSI WebBIOS Conguration Utility (CU) is an integrated RAID solution that

allows you to create RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, and 60 set(s) from SAS hard disk drives supported by the LSI SAS 1078 controller.

You can also use the WebBIOS CU to do the following tasks:

• Create physical arrays and virtual disks for storage congurations

• Delete virtual disks

• Migrate a storage conguration to a different RAID level

• Detect conguration mismatches

• Import a foreign conguration

• Display adapter, virtual disk, and physical drive properties.

• Scan devices connected to the controller

• Initialize virtual disks

• Check congurations for data consistency

• PIKE 1078 does not support the Battery Backup Unit (BBU) function.

• You may use disks of different sizes; however, the size of the smallest disk determines the “logical” size of each member disk.

• DO NOT combine Serial ATA and SAS disk drives in one volume.

• The RAID setup screens shown in this section are for reference only and may not exactly match the items on your screen due to the controller version difference.

2.2.1 Starting the WebBIOS CU

2.2.3 Creating a Storage Conguration

This section explains how to use the WebBIOS CU Conguration Wizard to congure RAID arrays and virtual disks.

Selecting the Conguration with the Conguration Wizard

Follow these steps to start the Conguration Wizard, and select a conguration

option and mode:

1. Click Conguration Wizard on

the WebBIOS main screen. The

rst Conguration Wizard screen

appears, as shown in the right

gure.

2. Select a conguration option.

If you choose the rst or second option, all existing data in the conguration will

be deleted. Make a backup of any data that you want to keep before choosing these options.

• Clear Conguration: Clears the existing conguration.

• New Conguration: Clears the existing conguration and lets you

create a new conguration.

• Add Conguration: Retains the existing storage conguration and adds

new drives to it (this does not cause any data loss).

3. Click Next. A dialog box warns that you will lose data if you select Clear

Conguration or New Conguration.

4. On the next screen, select a conguration mode:

• Custom Conguration: Allows you to control all attributes of the new

storage conguration.

• Auto Conguration with Redundancy: Automatically creates an

optimal RAID 1 or RAID 5 conguration, providing data redundancy. We recommends that you select this option.

• Auto Conguration without Redundancy: Automatically creates a

non-redundant RAID 0 conguration.

5. Click Next to continue.

ASUS PIKE 1078 2-7

Using Auto Conguration

Follow these instructions to create a conguration with auto conguration, either

with or without redundancy:

1. When WebBIOS displays the proposed new conguration, review the

information on the screen, and click Accept to accept it. (Or click Back to go

back and change the conguration.)

• RAID 0: If you selected Auto Conguration without Redundancy,

WebBIOS creates a RAID 0 conguration.

• RAID 1: If you selected Auto Conguration with Redundancy,

WebBIOS creates a RAID 1 conguration if only two disk drives are available.

• RAID 5: If you selected Auto Conguration with Redundancy,

WebBIOS creates a RAID 5 conguration if three or more disk drives are available.

2. Click Yes when you are prompted to save the conguration.

3. Click Yes when you are prompted to initialize the new virtual disk(s).

WebBIOS CU begins a background initialization of the virtual disks.

Using Custom Conguration: RAID 0

RAID 0 provides disk striping across all drives in the RAID array. RAID 0 does not provide any data redundancy but does offer the best performance of any RAID level. RAID 0 is ideal for applications that require high bandwidth but do not require fault tolerance. RAID 0 also denotes an independent or single drive.

RAID level 0 is not fault-tolerant. If a drive in a RAID 0 array fails, the whole virtual disk (all physical drives associated with the virtual disk) fails.

When you select Custom Conguration and click Next, the Disk Group Denition screen appears. You use this screen to select physical drives to create disk groups (arrays).

1. Hold <Ctrl> while selecting two or more ready drives in the Physical Drives window on the left until you have selected all desired physical drives for the disk group.

2. Click Accept DG to move the drives to a proposed disk group

conguration in the Disk Groups

window on the right, as shown in

the right gure.

If you need to undo the changes, click the Back button.

2-8 Chapter 2: RAID conguration

3. When you have nished selecting

physical disks for the disk groups, click Next.

The span denition screen appears

Select one of the available disk groups, and then click Add to Span.

4. When nish, click Next. The Virtual

Disk Denition screen appears, as shown in the right gure. You use this screen to select the RAID level, strip size, read policy, and other

attributes for the new virtual disks.

5. Change the virtual disk options from the defaults listed on the screen as needed.

Here are brief explanations of the virtual disk options:

• RAID Level: The drop-down menu lists the possible RAID levels for the

virtual disk. Select RAID 0.

• Strip Size: The strip size species the size of the segment written to

each disk in a RAID conguration. You can set the strip size to 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 or 1024 Kbytes. A larger strip size produces higher

read performance. If your computer regularly performs random read

requests, choose a smaller strip size. The default is 64 Kbytes.

• Access Policy: Select the type of data access that is allowed for this

virtual disk:

◊ RW: Allow read/write access. This is the default.

◊ Read Only: Allow read-only access.

◊ Blocked: Do not allow access.

• Read Policy: Specify the read policy for this virtual drive:

◊ Normal: This disables the read ahead capability. This is the default.

◊ Ahead: This enables read ahead capability, which allows the controller

to read sequentially ahead of requested data and to store the additional data in cache memory, anticipating that the data will be needed soon. This speeds up reads for sequential data, but there is little improvement when accessing random data.

◊ Adaptive: When Adaptive read ahead is selected, the controller

begins using read ahead if the two most recent disk accesses occurred in sequential sectors. If the read requests are random, the controller reverts to Normal (no read ahead).

ASUS PIKE 1078 2-9

• Write Policy: Specify the write policy for this virtual drive:

◊ WBack: In Writeback mode the controller sends a data transfer

completion signal to the host when the controller cache has received all the data in a transaction. This setting is recommended in Standard mode.

◊ WThru: In Writethrough mode the controller sends a data transfer

completion signal to the host when the disk subsystem has received all the data in a transaction. This is the default.

◊ Wrthru for BAD BBU: Select WBack for Write Policy and unselect this

item if you want the controller to use Writeback mode but the controller has no BBU or the BBU is bad. If you choose this option, the controller

rmware automatically switches to Writethrough mode if it detects a bad

or missing BBU.

• IO Policy: The IO Policy applies to reads on a specic virtual disk. It

does not affect the read ahead cache.

◊ Direct: In direct I/O mode, reads are not buffered in cache memory.

Data is transferred to the cache and the host concurrently. If the same data block is read again, it comes from cache memory. This is the default.

◊ Cached: In cached I/O mode, all reads are buffered in cache memory.

• Disk Cache Policy: Specify the disk cache policy:

◊ Enable: Enable the disk cache.

◊ Disable: Disable the disk cache. This is the default.

◊ NoChange: Leave the current disk cache policy unchanged.

• Disable BGI: Specify the background initialization status:

◊ No: Leave background initialization enabled. This means that a

new conguration can be initialized in the background while you use WebBIOS to do other conguration tasks. This is the default.

◊ Yes: Select Yes if you do not want to allow background initializations

for congurations on this controller.

• Select Size: Specify the size of the virtual disk in megabytes. Normally,

this would be the full size for RAID 0 shown in the Conguration Panel on the right. You may specify a smaller size if you want to create other

virtual disks on the same disk group.

6. Click Accept to accept the changes to the virtual disk denition, or click Back

to return to the previous settings.

7. Click Next when you are nished dening virtual disks. The conguration

preview screen appears, as shown in the following gure.
