PAGE 63
Chapter 10: Solving Problems ● 63 Troubleshooting Checklist If you encounter difficulties installing or using your Adaptec RAID controller, check these items first: ● With your computer powered off, check the connections to each disk drive, power supply, LED connector, and so on. Try disconnecting and reconnecting disk drives from the Adaptec RAID controller. ● Check that your Adaptec RAID controller is installed in a compatible PCIe expansion slot.
PAGE 64
Chapter 10: Solving Problems ● 64 Recovering from a Disk Drive Failure This section explains how to recover when a disk drive fails: ● If the array was protected by a hot spare (see page 64). ● If the array was not protected by a hot spare (see page 64). ● If there is a disk drive failure in more than one array simultaneously (see page 64). ● If it is a RAID 0 array (see page 65). ● If multiple disk drives fail within the same array (see page 65).
PAGE 65
Chapter 10: Solving Problems ● 65 If there are more disk drive failures than hot spares, see Failed Disk Drive Not Protected by a Hot Spare. If copyback is enabled, data is moved back to its original location once the controller detects that the failed drive has been replaced. Disk Drive Failure in a RAID 0 Array Because RAID 0 volumes do not include redundancy, if a disk drive fails in a RAID 0 array, the data can’t be recovered. Correct the cause of the failure or replace the failed disk drives.
PAGE 66
Chapter 10: Solving Problems ● 66 6 Disconnect all cables from the controller, then attach a shorting jumper to the Mode 0 flash connector. (To locate the Mode 0 flash connector on your Adaptec RAID controller, see the figures in About Your RAID Controller on page 15.) 7 Reconnect the power cord, power on your computer, then boot to the floppy disk containing the AFU.exe file (see Step 3). 8 At the prompt, type a:\afu update /c x where x is the controller number.

Introduction to SAS A In this appendix... Terminology Used in This Chapter ....................................................................................... 68 What is SAS? ........................................................................................................................... 68 How Do SAS Devices Communicate? ................................................................................... 69 What’s a Phy? ......................................................................
PAGE 68
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 68 Terminology Used in This Chapter For convenience, SAS HBAs and SAS RAID controllers are referred to generically in this chapter as SAS cards. HBAs, RAID controllers, disk drives, and external disk drive enclosures are referred to as end devices and expanders are referred to as expander devices. For convenience, this chapter refers to end devices and expander devices collectively as SAS devices.
PAGE 69
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 69 How Do SAS Devices Communicate? SAS devices communicate with each other through links. A link is a physical connection between two phys. As shown in the following figure, SAS devices contain ports (see page 70), ports contain phys, and each phy contains one transmitter and one receiver—one transceiver. A phy can belong to one port only.
PAGE 70
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 70 What’s a SAS Port? Note: Because the physical link between SAS devices is from phy to phy, rather than port to port, a “port” is more of a virtual concept, different from what is normally considered a port on other types of RAID controllers and storage devices. A port is one or more phys. A narrow port contains one phy. A wide port typically contains four phys.
PAGE 71
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 71 How are Disk Drives Identified in SAS? In the BIOS and in the management utilities (see Identifying Disk Drives on page 92), disk drives are identified in the following formats: ● CNX:DevY = Device Y is attached to Connector X (see Direct-attach Connections below for more information) ● BoxX:SlotX = Enclosure X is attached to a disk drive in Slot X (see Backplane Connections below for more information) ● ExpX:PhyX = Expander X is attached to Phy X (see SAS Expand
PAGE 72
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 72 Some backplanes support daisy-chain expansion to other backplanes. For example, you can daisy-chain (connect one to the next) up to nine Adaptec S50 enclosures to a single SAS card in a host system. SAS Expander Connections A SAS expander device literally expands the number of end devices that you can connect together.
PAGE 73
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 73 How is SAS Different from Parallel SCSI? In summary, although SAS and parallel SCSI both use the SCSI command set, how they move data from one place to another is very different. To support point-to-point serial data transport, SAS introduces new types of connectors, cables, connection options, and terminology. Generally speaking, SAS is faster and more flexible than parallel SCSI, and provides more options for building your storage space.

PAGE 75
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 75 Understanding Drive Segments A drive segment is a disk drive or portion of a disk drive that is used to create an array. A disk drive can include both RAID segments (segments that are part of an array) and available segments. Each segment can be part of only one logical device at a time. If a disk drive is not part of any logical device, the entire disk is an available segment.
PAGE 76
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 76 RAID 1 Arrays A RAID 1 array is built from two disk drives, where one disk drive is a mirror of the other (the same data is stored on each disk drive). Compared to independent disk drives, RAID 1 arrays provide improved performance, with twice the read rate and an equal write rate of single disks. However, capacity is only 50 percent of independent disk drives.
PAGE 77
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 77 RAID 10 Arrays A RAID 10 array is built from two or more equal-sized RAID 1 arrays. Data in a RAID 10 array is both striped and mirrored. Mirroring provides data protection, and striping improves performance. Drive segment size is limited to the size of the smallest disk drive in the array.
PAGE 78
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 78 RAID 5 Arrays A RAID 5 array is built from a minimum of three disk drives, and uses data striping and parity data to provide redundancy. Parity data provides data protection, and striping improves performance. Parity data is an error-correcting redundancy that’s used to re-create data if a disk drive fails. In RAID 5 arrays, parity data (represented by Ps in the next figure) is striped evenly across the disk drives with the stored data.
PAGE 79
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 79 RAID 5EE Arrays A RAID 5EE array—also known as a hot space—is similar to a RAID 5 array except that it includes a distributed spare drive and must be built from a minimum of four disk drives. Unlike a hot spare, a distributed spare is striped evenly across the disk drives with the stored data and parity data, and can’t be shared with other logical disk drives. A distributed spare improves the speed at which the array is rebuilt following a disk drive failure.
PAGE 80
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 80 RAID 50 Arrays A RAID 50 array is built from six to forty-eight disk drives configured as two or more RAID 5 arrays, and stripes stored data and parity data across all disk drives in both RAID 5 arrays. (For more information, see RAID 5 Arrays on page 78.) The parity data provides data protection, and striping improves performance. RAID 50 arrays also provide high data transfer speeds. Drive segment size is limited to the size of the smallest disk drive in the array.
PAGE 81
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 81 RAID 6 Arrays A RAID 6 array—also known as dual drive failure protection—is similar to a RAID 5 array because it uses data striping and parity data to provide redundancy. However, RAID 6 arrays include two independent sets of parity data instead of one. Both sets of parity data are striped separately across all disk drives in the array. RAID 6 arrays provide extra protection for your data because they can recover from two simultaneous disk drive failures.

PAGE 84
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 84 Introduction to the ARC Utility The ARC utility comprises these tools: ● The Array Configuration Utility (ACU)—For creating and managing arrays, and initializing and rescanning disk drives (see page 84). Note: Also available—ACU for DOS. See page 94. ● SerialSelect—For modifying your controller and disk drive settings (see page 88). ● Disk Utilities—For formatting or verifying disk drives (see page 91).
PAGE 85
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 85 Managing Existing Arrays To view or modify existing arrays, select Manage Arrays from the main ACU menu. From the Manage Arrays menu, you can: ● View the properties of an array. Note: Failed drives are displayed in a different text color. ● Make an array bootable (see Creating Bootable Arrays on page 85). ● Assign or remove hot spares. ● Modify power management settings. ● Change the cache settings for an array. ● Delete an array.
PAGE 86
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 86 Option Description Power Off Drive After The duration of inactive state of the array/drive after which it is powered off. This is an optional setting. Note: Power Off Drive After duration should be greater than Slow Down Drive After Duration. Verify Drive After The regular time interval at which the system performs a health check of the array/drive. Modifying Cache Settings You can modify the read and write cache settings for an array.
PAGE 87
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 87 Secure Erasing Disk Drives When you perform a secure erase on a disk drive, all data on that disk drive is completely and irretrievably eradicated. Secure erase performs three distinct writing passes to the disk drive being erased—it does not just write zeros. Performing a secure erase takes up to six times longer than clearing (or zeroing) a disk drive.
PAGE 88
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 88 To begin creating a JBOD, select Create JBOD from the main ACU menu. All the supported disk drives are displayed. Select a disk drive and Enter. Managing Existing JBODs To delete a JBOD or morph a JBOD into a simple volume, select Manage JBODs from the main ACU menu. From the Manage JBODs menu, you can: ● Morph a JBOD into a simple volume. ● Delete a JBOD Note: When you delete a JBOD, you lose all data on that disk.
PAGE 89
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 89 Opening SerialSelect To open SerialSelect, start the ARC utility (see page 84), select SerialSelect, then press Enter. Follow the on-screen instructions to modify the settings of your controller and connected disk drives as required. Applying Changes and Exiting 1 To exit SerialSelect, press Esc until you are prompted to exit. If you modified any settings, you are prompted to save the changes before you exit.
PAGE 90
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 90 Option Description Physical Drives Display During POST When enabled, connected disk drives are displayed during system Power On Self Test (POST). Displaying the disk drives adds a few seconds to the overall POST time. Default is disabled. DVD/CD-ROM Boot Support When enabled, the system can be booted from a bootable CD. (This setting is not available on all RAID controller models.
PAGE 91
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 91 Option Description Spin Up Limit (Internal) The number of internal drives to be spun up at any given moment. By default it is set to 0. In the default setting, all the internal drives will spin up. Spin Up Limit (External) The number of external drives to be spun up at any given moment. By default it is set to 0. In the default setting, all the external drives will spin up.
PAGE 92
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility 4 Select the disk drive you want, then press Enter. 5 Select Identify Drive, then press Enter. 6 When you have finished locating your disk drive, press any key to stop the blinking. ● 92 Identifying Disk Drives You can identify disk drives by viewing the list of disk drives on your system. Only physical drives that display during POST are shown. To identify a disk drive: 1 Start the ARC utility (see page 84).
PAGE 93
Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 93 Viewing the Event Log The BIOS-based event log records all firmware events, such as configuration changes, array creation, and boot activity. Some events are not stored indefinitely—the event log is cleared of any non-persistent events each time you restart your computer; additionally, once the log is full, new events overwrite old events. To view the event log: 1 Start the ARC utility (see page 84).

Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS D In this appendix... Getting Started ....................................................................................................................... 95 Working in the ACU Using Menus........................................................................................ 95 Running the ACU Using Scripts............................................................................................
PAGE 95
Appendix D: Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS ● 95 Getting Started Note: You need a bootable floppy disk to complete this task. The ACU for DOS runs from a floppy disk which you can create using the RAID Controller Installation DVD that came in your Adaptec RAID controller kit. To create the ACU floppy disk: 1 Insert your RAID Controller Installation DVD into the DVD drive, then browse to this file: packages/firmware/controllermodel/acu.
PAGE 96
Appendix D: Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS ● 96 Running the ACU Using Scripts To work in the ACU using scripts: 1 Insert the ACU floppy disk (see page 95), then start or restart your computer. The computer boots to the DOS command line. 2 Type ACU on the command line, specify a script file, and specify either the /P or /R switches listed in the following table. (Don’t specify both.) You may also add one or both of the optional switches. Note: Command line syntax is not case sensitive.
PAGE 97
Appendix D: Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS ● 97 About Record Mode Note: You can also create a script file manually (see the following section). In Record Mode, the ACU writes a RAID controller’s existing array configuration to a specified script file, which lets you create the same configuration by running the ACU in Playback Mode (/P switch) with the resulting script. You can only record one RAID controller at a time with Record Mode.
PAGE 98
Appendix D: Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS ● 98 Array Definition Block Keywords The array definition block always begins with the keyword Array and ends with the keyword End. The other required array definition keywords are Drives and Type. Array definition keywords and descriptions are listed in this table. Keyword Required? Description Array Yes Indicates the start of an array definition block. No default. See page 98.
PAGE 99
Appendix D: Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS ● 99 For example: Drives=0:0:0 Drives=0:0:0,0:1:0,0:2:0 End Keyword End is a required keyword, indicating the end of the block. HotspareDrives Keyword Hotspare Drives is an optional keyword, specifying the hot spares to assign to the array. The syntax for listing hot spares is the same as the Drives Keyword on page 98. If Hotspare Drives is not specified, no hot spares are assigned to the array.
PAGE 100
Appendix D: Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS ● 100 Method Keyword Method is an optional keyword, indicating which method to use when creating a redundant (RAID 1, 1E, 10, 5, 5EE, 50, 6 and 60) array. Possible values: ● Build (the default)—Perform a Build/Verify process on the array. Takes longer than Clear, but allows you to begin using the array immediately. ● Clear—Clear the array.
PAGE 101
Appendix D: Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS ● 101 For example: StripeSize=256 Type Keyword Type is a required keyword, indicating the array type. There is no default value. The possible values: Volume, RAID0, RAID1, RAID5, RAID10, or RAID50. Depending on the RAID levels supported by your RAID controller, additional possible values are: RAID1E, RAID5EE, RAID6, RAID60.
PAGE 102
Appendix D: Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS ● 102 Code Description 5 Unable to read system configuration—The ACU was unable to get the configuration information from the specified controller. 6 No drives detected. 7 Specified drive not found in system. 8 Specified array size too small—You specified an array size that is smaller than the minimum size allowed for this array.
PAGE 103
Appendix D: Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS # Use drives 1 and 2 Drives=0:1:0,0:2:0 # Disable write cache WriteCache=No # Assign 1 spare drive HotspareDrives=0:3:0 End This sample script file creates a maximum-size three-disk-drive RAID 5: # Create a maximum size RAID 5 labeled ‘MyData’ Array=MyData Type=RAID5 Size=Maximum # Use the maximum stripe size StripeSize=1024 # Clear the array (don’t build/verify it) Method=Clear # Don’t wait for clear to complete Wait=No # Use drives 0, 1, 2 Drives

Note: You can’t run the AFU from a DOS command prompt window under any version of Windows. ● At least 8 MB of extended memory. Compatibility Notes ● Supports HIMEM.SYS; compatible with other DOS drivers running under HIMEM.SYS (for example, SMARTDRV.SYS and SETVER.SYS). ● Does not support DOS extenders installed in memory, such as EMM386.SYS and DOS4GW.
PAGE 106
Appendix E: Using the Adaptec Flash Utility ● 106 Creating the Firmware Update Disks To create the firmware update disks: 1 Copy these files to empty, formatted floppy disks, a USB flash drive, or a writable CD: ● AFU.exe ● Axxxx01.ufi where xxx is the model number of your controller. Note: Most controller model numbers have a suffix (for example Adaptec RAID 3405). Check that the .ufi file is the correct file for your controller before copying.
PAGE 107
Appendix E: Using the Adaptec Flash Utility 7 ● 107 Complete the flash operation and restart your computer before trying to use the RAID controller again. (You can not use your RAID controller while you are updating its flash.) The AFU processes the selected command, prompts you to insert additional floppy disks as needed, and reports either success or an error message code. Running the AFU from the Command Line Note: You can also run a menu-based AFU (see page 106).
PAGE 108
Appendix E: Using the Adaptec Flash Utility ● 108 These switches are available: ● /C —One or more RAID controller IDs representing the set of RAID controllers on which to perform the specified command. The default is 0; if the computer has multiple RAID controllers, the AFU defaults to controller 0 unless you specify otherwise.
PAGE 109
Appendix E: Using the Adaptec Flash Utility ● 109 Verify Compares the contents of each of the flash components on a RAID controller to the corresponding image in a UFI file, and indicates whether they match. After using the VERIFY command, you must restart the computer. The command syntax for the VERIFY command is as follows: AFU VERIFY [/C] [/D ] This example shows a typical system response after a VERIFY command. A:\> AFU VERIFY /C 0 Adaptec Flash Utility V4.
