It provides RAID levels 0 (striping), 1 (shadowing), 0+1 (striped shadowed sets), and 5 (striping with distributed parity). By providing RAID functionality, it binds a collection of disk drives into a smaller number of logical drives to provide data redundancy and/or increased performance. Performance improvements are obtained by striping user data across a number of disk drives, thus overlapping disk operations (RAID 0, 0+1). Redundancy is obtained by keeping additional copies of user data on a redundant disk drive (RAID 1), or by generating and storing data parity so that user information can be reconstructed in the event of a disk failure (RAID 5). In either case, the application continues to run without data loss in the event of a single disk drive failure. For more information on RAID, see the Buyer’s Guide to RAID Systems (EC-G4136-45). StorageWorks RAID Array 210 subsystem comprises a RAID controller, RAID software (drivers and utilities) and documentation, and disk drives with appropriate cables and enclosures. SWXCR-Ex controller provides RAID functionality. It is an EISA backplane controller, and plugs directly into the EISA bus inside system enclosure. Therefore, RAID functionality can be provided for the disk drives inside, as well as outside, the system enclosure. In a standalone RAID subsystem, the disks are housed in separate StorageWorks pedestal enclosures. The combination of an EISA adapter and a RAID controller (as a single component) provides a lower-cost solution than traditional standalone RAID controllers. The SWXCR-Ex controller is available in two models, a single SCSI channel variant that supports up to 7 disk drives, and a three channel model that supports up to 21 drives. RAID software includes device drivers, standalone, and on-line utilities which provide following functionality:







EISA bus configuration RAID subsystem configuration (display drive array map, bind disks into RAID sets, configure array parameters, etc.) RAID subsystem monitoring and fault reporting. Status changes are reported to OPCOM (OpenVMS), System Console (DIGITAL UNIX), Event Viewer (Windows NT); written to a log file (DIGITAL UNIX and OpenVMS); and notification can be sent via MAIL (OpenVMS) RAID subsystem maintenance (parity check and repair, firmware updates) The hardware components of StorageWorks RAID Array 210 subsystem are standard StorageWorks components. This includes disk drives as well as enclosures. Many of the redundancy attributes of StorageWorks RAID Array 210 subsystem, such as disk drive, power supply, and fan hot swapping, are standard StorageWorks attributes. Supported Systems StorageWorks RAID Array 210 subsystem is supported on Alpha systems and Intel servers that use the industry-standard EISA bus. Software Support The StorageWorks RAID Array 210 subsystem is supported on OpenVMS, DIGITAL UNIX, and Windows NT 3.5.1 or later. Ordering Information StorageWorks RAID Array 210 Subsystem can be configured with disk drives inside system enclosure, or in standalone StorageWorks pedestal enclosures.

It provides RAID levels 0 (striping), 1 (mirroring), 0+1 (striped mirrored sets), and 5 (striping with distributed parity). By providing RAID functionality, it binds a collection of disk drives into logical drives to provide data redundancy and/or increased performance. Performance improvements are obtained by striping user data across a number of disk drives, thus overlapping disk operations (RAID 0, 0+1). Redundancy is obtained by keeping additional copies of user data on a redundant disk drive (RAID 1), or by generating and storing data parity so that user information can be reconstructed in the event of a disk failure (RAID 5). In either case, the application continues to run without data loss in the event of a single disk drive failure. For more information on RAID, see the Buyer's Guide to RAID Systems(EC-G4136-45). The StorageWorks RAID Array 230 subsystem comprises a PCI backplane RAID controller, operating system specific RAID drivers and utilities (software), documentation, and disk drives with appropriate cables and enclosures. The controller provides RAID functionality. It is a backplane controller, and plugs directly into PCI bus inside system enclosure. Therefore, RAID functionality can be provided for disk drives inside, as well as outside, system enclosure. In a standalone RAID subsystem, disks are housed in separate StorageWorks pedestal enclosures. The combination of a PCI adapter and a RAID controller (as a single component) provides a lower-cost solution than traditional standalone RAID controllers. The KZPSC controller is available in two models, a single SCSI channel variant that supports up to 7 disk drives, and a three channel model that supports up to 21 drives. RAID drivers and utilities provide the following functionality:





RAID subsystem configuration (display drive array map, bind disks into RAID sets, configure array parameters, etc.) RAID subsystem monitoring and fault reporting. Status changes are reported to OPCOM (OpenVMS), System Console (DIGITAL UNIX) Event Viewer (Windows NT); written to a log file (DIGITAL UNIX and OpenVMS); and notification can be sent via MAIL (OpenVMS). RAID subsystem maintenance (parity check and repair, firmware updates) System Support The StorageWorks RAID Array 230 subsystem is supported on Alpha systems and Intel Servers that use the industrystandard PCI bus. Refer to system ordering menus. Operating System Support StorageWorks RAID Array 230 subsystem is supported on DIGITAL UNIX V3.0B, OpenVMS 6.2, and Windows NT V3.5/or later. Ordering Information StorageWorks RAID Array 230 Subsystem can be configured with disk drives inside system enclosure, or in standalone configurations, where the disk devices are contained in StorageWorks pedestal enclosures. StorageWorks RAID Array 230 Subsystem consists of the following key components:



PCI backplane RAID controller, which plugs-in directly into PCI system backplane. Software and documentation kit, which includes device drivers and RAID utilities for chosen system platform. (Software/Documentation kits are bundled with controllers). Storage 7.54

Available in one- and three-channel versions, it offers all features of the StorageWorks RAID Array 230, but with increased performance. It supports both Ultra SCSI and Fast-Wide SCSI storage enclosures and subsystems. DIGITAL StorageWorks RAID Array 230/Plus Controller can coexist with StorageWorks RAID Array 210 and 230 controllers in the same server. The product includes hardware controller, RAID Configuration Utility (RCU), graphical user interface (GUI) for managing and monitoring the controller, and documentation. The RCU and online GUI utilities, included with RAID Array 230/Plus, support the entire DIGITAL RAID Array 200 family of products. In additional, an optional battery backup module (KZPSC-UB) retains the contents of the cache for approximately 8 to 12 hours, depending on size of cache. RAID Array 230/Plus Controller offers a wide, 16-bit support environment. DIGITAL recommends Ultra BA356 storage shelves be used with the -VW variants of the disk drives for highest performance. The KZPAC is still fully compatible with existing subsystems based on non-Ultra BA356 storage shelves. 4 MB and 8 MB cache options are available on the RAID Array 230/Plus; cache options are not interchangeable with other members of the RAID Array 200 family. The performance of DIGITAL StorageWorks RAID Array 230/Plus Controller (KZPAC), compared to the RAID Array 230 Controller (KZPSC), shows an approximate increase of 25 percent in I/O per second throughput, and approximately a 30 percent increased in bandwidth. Exact performance is greatly dependent on a large number of parameters, including RAID level; RAID subsystem specific attributes (type and size of cache); number of RAID controllers on the system; number and type of disks used; application parameters (read/write ratio, file size, and block size); type of system; overall system activity; and operating system. The default settings in the configuration utility are set to optimize performance for most applications. DIGITAL StorageWorks RAID Array 230/Plus Controller comes with 3-year warranty: first year on-site; second and third year, return to dealer (RTD). Features









Supports Ultra SCSI storage subsystems High-performance RAID controller for AlphaServer systems Ultra SCSI support for new and existing KZPAC controllers can be enabled by simply using the RAID Configuration Utility (RCU) Backplane compatible to existing Fast-Wide SCSI enclosures and devices Replacement for RAID Array 230, PCI-based SCSI RAID controller
