PAGE 30
Chapter 4: Getting Started ● 30 Choosing a RAID Level This section provides a brief overview of the RAID levels supported by your ICP RAID controller, including the minimum and maximum number of disk drives required by each. ● RAID 0 (Non-redundant Array)—Stripes data across multiple disk drives. Improved performance but no redundancy (see page 75). ● RAID 1 Array—Created from two disk drives where one disk drive is a mirror of the other (the same data is stored on each disk drive).
PAGE 31
Chapter 4: Getting Started ● 31 Selecting Disk Drives When selecting disk drives for your RAID array, ensure that all the disk drives have the same performance level. You can use different-sized disk drives in the array, but the array will be limited to the capacity of the smallest and slowest disk drive. For more information, refer to the ICP Storage Manager User’s Guide or online Help. Disk Drives for SAS Controllers Your SAS controller supports both SAS and SATA disk drives.
PAGE 32
Chapter 4: Getting Started ● 32 Selecting Cables This section describes the cable options and requirements for your ICP controller: ● For SAS cables, see this page. ● SATA cables, see page 33. ● SCSI cables, see page 34. SAS Cables You need one SAS cable for each disk drive you are connecting to your ICP SAS RAID controller. Depending on your requirements, you can use any of these cables: External cable (SFF-8470 to SFF-8470)—Connects to an external SAS enclosure.
PAGE 33
Chapter 4: Getting Started ● 33 Internal mini-SAS to SATA fan-out (SFF-8087 to 4x SATA)—Connects to four SATA disk drives. External SAS (SFF-8088)—Connects to SAS or SATA disk drives on a backplane. Internal SAS (SFF-8484)—Connects to SAS or SATA disk drives on a backplane. Internal mini-SAS (SFF-8087)—Connects to SAS or SATA disk drives on a backplane. Cable connectors are keyed so that you can’t insert them incorrectly. ICP recommends using only high quality SAS cables.
PAGE 34
Chapter 4: Getting Started ● 34 All SATA straight connector to straight connector cables have the same connectors, as shown in the following figure, and the connectors are keyed so that you can’t insert them incorrectly. ICP recommends using only high quality SATA cables. For more information or to purchase cables, visit the ICP Web site at www.icp-vortex.com or the Adaptec Web site at www.adaptec.com. SCSI Cables Depending on your requirements, you may need one or two internal cables.

Chapter 10: Solving Problems ● 64 Troubleshooting Checklist If you encounter difficulties installing or using your ICP 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 ICP RAID controller. ● Check that your ICP RAID controller is installed in a compatible expansion slot (PCI, PCIX, or PCIe).
PAGE 65
Chapter 10: Solving Problems ● 65 Failed Disk Drive Protected by a Hot Spare When an array is protected by a hot spare, if a disk drive in that array fails the hot spare is automatically incorporated into the array and takes over for the failed drive. To recover from the failure: 1 Remove and replace the failed disk drive (following manufacturer’s instructions).
PAGE 66
Chapter 10: Solving Problems ● 66 Multiple Failures in the Same Array Except in RAID 6 and RAID 60 arrays (see page 74), if more than one disk drive fails at the same time in the same array, the data can’t be recovered. Correct the cause of the failure or replace the failed disk drives. Then, restore your data (if available). Note: In some instances, RAID 10 and RAID 50 arrays may survive multiple disk drive failures, depending on which disk drives fail.

Introduction to Serial Attached SCSI 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 Serial Attached SCSI ● 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 Serial Attached SCSI ● 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 Serial Attached SCSI ● 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 Serial Attached SCSI ● 71 How are Disk Drives Identified in SAS? In the BIOS and in the management utilities (see Identifying Disk Drives on page 90), 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
PAGE 72
Appendix A: Introduction to Serial Attached SCSI ● 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 Serial Attached SCSI ● 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.

Understanding RAID B In this appendix... Understanding Drive Segments............................................................................................. 75 Non-redundant Arrays (RAID 0) .......................................................................................... 75 RAID 1 Arrays ........................................................................................................................ 76 RAID 1 Enhanced Arrays...........................................................
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.

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.) Note: Because they support four disk drives only, the ICP9047MA RAID controller can’t support RAID 50 arrays. The parity data provides data protection, and striping improves performance.
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 ICP RAID Configuration Utility ● 84 Introduction to the ICP RAID Configuration Utility The ICP RAID Configuration 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 92. ● A -Select Utility—SerialSelect, SATASelect, or SCSISelect, for modifying your controller and disk drive settings (see page 86).
PAGE 85
Appendix C: Using the ICP 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. ● Delete an array. ! Caution: Before deleting an array, back up the data to avoid permanently losing it.
PAGE 86
Appendix C: Using the ICP RAID Configuration Utility ● 86 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 87
Appendix C: Using the ICP RAID Configuration Utility ● 87 Modifying Your Controller’s Configuration Note: Default controller settings are suitable for most computers. ICP recommends that you do not change the default setting. To modify your controller’s settings, select Controller Configuration from the main -Select utility menu. The following table lists controller configuration options. Some options may not be available for your controller.
PAGE 88
Appendix C: Using the ICP RAID Configuration Utility ● 88 SAS-specific Controller Settings In addition to the general settings listed on page 87, your ICP SAS controller has SAS-specific settings that can be modified if required. (For more information about SAS, see page 67.) Note: This feature is not available with the ICP5125BR or ICP5165BR controllers. To modify SAS-specific settings, select PHY Configuration from the SerialSelect main menu. Note: Default settings are shown in bold type.
PAGE 89
Appendix C: Using the ICP RAID Configuration Utility ● 89 SCSI-specific Controller Settings In addition to the general settings listed on page 87, your ICP SCSI controller has SCSI-specific settings that can be modified if required. To modify SCSI-specific settings, select SCSI Configuration from the SCSISelect main menu. SCSI Device Settings You can use SCSISelect to modify some of the settings on the SCSI devices connected to your SCSI controller.
PAGE 90
Appendix C: Using the ICP RAID Configuration Utility ● 90 Formatting and Verifying Disk Drives You can use the disk utilities to low-level format or verify your disk drives. (New disk drives are low-level formatted at the factory and do not need to be low-level formatted again.) ! Caution: Before you format a disk drive, back up all data. Formatting destroys all data on a disk drive. To format or verify a disk drive: 1 Start the ICP RAID Configuration utility (see page 84).
PAGE 91
Appendix C: Using the ICP RAID Configuration Utility ● 91 The location information of a disk drive is determined by three types of connections: ● Direct attached drives—The connection is determined by the cable connected to a device, for example CN1 (connector 1) is connected to DEV1 (device 1). For more information, see Direct-attach Connections on page 71. ● Storage Enclosure Processor (SEP) managed devices—The connection is determined by an active backplane.

Getting Started ....................................................................................................................... 93 Working in the ACU Using Menus........................................................................................ 93 Running the ACU Using Scripts............................................................................................
PAGE 93
Appendix D: Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS ● 93 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 Installation CD that came in your ICP RAID controller kit. To create the ACU floppy disk: 1 Insert your RAID Installation CD into the CD drive, then browse to this file: packages/firmware/controllermodel/acu.exe Where controllermodel is the model number of your ICP RAID controller.
PAGE 94
Appendix D: Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS ● 94 Running the ACU Using Scripts To work in the ACU using scripts: 1 Insert the ACU floppy disk (see page 93), 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 95
Appendix D: Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS ● 95 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 96
Appendix D: Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS ● 96 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 96.
PAGE 97
Appendix D: Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS ● 97 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 96. If Hotspare Drives is not specified, no hot spares are assigned to the array.
PAGE 98
Appendix D: Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS ● 98 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 99
Appendix D: Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS ● 99 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 100
Appendix D: Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS ● 100 ControllerID Keyword ControllerID is an optional keyword to change the SCSI ID of the controller. Normally, the SCSI controller is assigned SCSI ID 7 on each of its channels. You can specify any ID value between 0 and 7. ! Caution: Do not change the SCSI ID of the controller unless directed to do so by ICP Technical Support. For example: ControllerID=7 End Keyword End is a required keyword, indicating the end of the block.
