Chapter 1 Introduction Contents of this Chapter: About this Guide Introducing the RocketRAID 2240 Host Adapter Product Features Understanding RAID Concepts and Terminology
Introduction About this Guide The RocketRAID 2240 SATAII Host Adapter’s User’s Guide provides information about the functions and capabilities of the host adapter, and instructions for installing, configuring and maintaining RAID arrays hosted by the adapter. Introducing the RocketRAID 2240 Host Adapter The HighPoint RocketRAID 2240 is a 16-channel Multi-Port Infiniband Serial ATA II RAID controller. It utilizes a 64bit, 133MHz PCI-X interface.
Introduction Understanding RAID Concepts and Terminology The following concepts and terminology is commonly used when describing the functions of the RocketRAID 2240 Host Adapter. Disk initialization Initializing a disk writes necessary RAID configuration information to that disk. Disks must be initialized before configuring them into RAID arrays. The initialization process will destroy all data on the disk. Disk Status New The disk contains no data and has not been initialized.
Introduction Foreground initialization Foreground initialization will zero-out all data on the array. The array is not accessible by the operating system until initialization is complete. Background initialization Background initialization allows the array to be used immediately. For RAID1 and RAID10 arrays, initialization will results in data being duplicated identically to the mirror pair. For RAID5 arrays, initialization will result in parity being generated from all array members.
Introduction Spare disk A spare disk is a single disk that can be used to automatically rebuild a redundant array in case of drive failure. Spare disks may also be members of a RAID array. Any available space on these disks may be used to rebuild other broken arrays. Legacy disk Disks attached to the RocketRAID 2240 that contain valid partition tables will be identified as legacy disks.
