Chapter 2: RAID Storage Array Administration This chapter discusses how to administer the Palladium Store 1000 RAID storage arrays. Each RAID consists a chassis with a RAID Bridge and 10 disks, which come in two disk sets. A disk set consists of five disks (four standards disks and one redundant disk). Figure 2-1 shows the Palladium Store 1000.
Bay 1 (A) Drives 1 - 5
Bridge A
Bay 2 (B) Drives 6 - 10
Palladium Store 1000 Drive Bay with Cover Removed Figure 2-1: PS1000 Drive Bay
The RAID Controller hardware manages the disk controller functions, which include: •
Formatting the array
•
Reading and writing data
•
Checking data parity
•
Rebuilding disks
Important: If two or more disks in a set fail (a set consists of 4 storage disks plus 1 parity disk), all of the data in the storage array will be lost.
Chapter 2: RAID Storage Array Administration
Rebuilding Failed Disks Any time you replace a disk, you must rebuild the array. A rebuild calculates the lost data from the parity disk and remaining data disks and adds it to the new disk. For information on replacing drives see “Replacing a RAID Disk” on page 15. If a disk has failed: 1. Remove the failed disk – You can determine the failed disk number by running the array_services array0 command. The disks are numbered 1-10, from left to right. 2.
Replace with a new disk. The rebuild begins automatically when the new drive is inserted. Warning: Do not attempt firmware updates on any system that has a failed drive in one or more RAID storage arrays. No software or firmware upgrades should be performed on any malfunctioning system.
Formatting an Array Because the array is formatted at the factory, no reformatting is required. Should the disk ever need reformatting, contact Pinnacle Technical Support for assistance.
Creating a File System The formatted array contains its own file system. Creating a new file system destroys all content. If you need to create a new file system, contact Pinnacle Technical Support for assistance.
Adding Arrays A Thunder can support more than one RAID chassis. RAID chassis can be added in volume sets. The initial disk set will determine how additional storage can be added to your system. For information about adding RAID storage array enclosures, consult Pinnacle Technical Support.
