CHAPTER 5: RAID FUNCTIONS

TA890FXE

5.1 O

Supports Windows Vista and Windows 7.

PERATING SYSTEM

5.2 RAID ARRAYS

RAID supports the following types of RAID arrays:

RAID 0: RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves disk read and write times for

many applications.

RAID 1: RAID 1 defines techniques for mirroring data.

RAID 10: RAID 10 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1.

RAID 5: RAID 5 provides fault to lerance and better utilization of disk capacity.

5.3 HOW RAID WORKS

RAID 0:

The controller “stripes” data across multiple drives in a RAID 0 array system. It breaks
up a large f ile into smaller blocks and p erforms dis k reads and wr ites across multip le
drives in parallel. The size of each block is determined by the stripe size parameter,
which you set during the creation of the RAID set based on the system environment. This
technique reduces overall disk access time and offers high bandwidth.

Features and Benefits

 Drives: Minimum 2, and maximum is up to 6 or 8. Depending on the

platform.

 Uses: Intended for non-critical data requiring high data throughput, or any

environment that does not require fault tolerance.

 Benefits: provides increased data throughput, especially for large files. No

capacity loss penalty for parity.

 Drawbacks: Does not deliver any fault tolerance. If any drive in the array

fails, all data is lost.

 Fault Tolerance: No.

Blo ck 5

Block 2
Blo ck 4
Blo ck 6

21

Motherboard Manual

RAID 1:

Every read and write is actually carried out in parallel across 2 disk drives in a RAID 1
array system. The mirrored (backup) copy of the data can reside on the same disk or on a
second redundant drive in the array. RAID 1 provides a hot-standby copy of data if the
active volume or drive is corrupted or becomes unavailable because of a hardware failure.

RAID techniques can be applied for high-availability solutions, or as a form of automatic
backup that eliminates tedious manual backups to more expensive and less reliab le
media.

Features and Benefits

 Drives: Minimum 2, and maximum is 2.
 Uses: RAID 1 is ideal for small databases or any other application that

requires fault tolerance and minimal capacity.

 Benefits: Provides 100% data redundancy. Should one drive fail, the

controller switches to the other drive.

 Drawbacks: Requires 2 drives for the storage space of one drive.

Performance is impaired during drive rebuilds.

 Fault Tolerance: Yes.

TA890FXE

RAID 10:

RAID 1 drives can be stripped using RAID 0 techniques. Resulting in a RAID 10
solution for improved resiliency, performance and rebuild performance.

Features and Benefits

 Drives: Minimum 4, and maximum is 6 or 8, depending on the platform.
 Benefits: Optimizes for both fault tolerance and performance, allowing for

automatic redundancy. May be simultaneously used with other RAID levels
in an array, and allows for spare disks.

 Drawbacks: Requires twice the available disk space for data redundancy,

the same as RAID level 1.

 Fault Tolerance: Yes.

Motherboard Manual

RAID 5:

RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more drives. It writes
data and parity blocks across all the drives in the array. Fault tolerance is maintained by
ensuring that the parity information for any given block of data is placed on a different
drive from those used to store the data itself.

Features and Benefits

 Drives: Mini mu m 3.
 Uses: RAID 5 is recommended for transaction processing and general

purpose service.

 Benefits: An ideal combination of good performance, good fault tolerance,

and high capacity and storage efficiency.

 Drawbacks: Individual block data transfer rate same as a single disk. Write

performance can be CPU intensive.

 Fault Tolerance: Yes.

7.6 TROUBLESHOOTING

Probable Solution

1. There is no power in the system.
Power LED does not shine; the
fan of the power supply does not
work

2. Indicator light on keyboard does
not shine.

System is inoperative. Keyboard lights
are on, power indicator lights are lit,
and hard drives are running.

System does not boot from a hard disk
drive, but can be booted from optical
drive.

System only boots from an optical
drive. Hard disks can be read,
applications can be used, but system
fails to boot from a hard disk.

Screen message shows “Invalid
Configuration” or “CMOS Failure.”

System cannot boot after user installs a
second hard drive.

TA890FXE

1. Make sure power cable is
securely plugged in.

2. Replace cable.

3. Contact technical support.

Using even pressure on both ends of
the DIMM, press down firmly until the
module snaps into place.

1. Check cable running from disk to
disk controller board. Make sure
both ends are securely plugged
in; check the drive type in the
standard CMOS setup.

2. Backing up the hard drive is
extremely important. All hard
disks are capable of breaking
down at any time.

1. Back up data and applications
files.

2. Reformat the hard drive.
Re-install applications and data
using backup disks.

Review system’s equipment. Make sure
correct information is in setup.

1. Set master/slave jumpers
correctly.

2. Run SETUP program and select
correct drive types. Call the drive
manufacturers for compatibility
with other drives.
