Intel® RAID Controller RS2WC080 and RS2WC040 TPS 4. RAID Functionality and Features 4.1 Hierarchy RAID Functionality and Features The fundamental purpose of a RAID system is to present a usable data storage medium (virtual drive) with some level of redundancy to a host operating system. The Intel® RAID firmware is based on the concept of associating physical drives in arrays and then creating a virtual drive from that array that includes a functional RAID level.
RAID Functionality and Features 4.1.2 Intel® RAID Controller RS2WC080 and RS2WC040 TPS RAID Virtual Drive Status Table 11 RAID Virtual Drive Status Drive State Optimal Code Optimal Description The drive operating system is good. All configured drives are online. Degraded Degraded The drive operating condition is not optimal because one of the configured drives has failed or is offline. Offline Offline The drive is not available to the operating system and is unusable. 4.1.
Intel® RAID Controller RS2WC080 and RS2WC040 TPS RAID Functionality and Features The drive cache is managed through a user-configurable RAID controller option. Table 13 Cache Policies Array Cache Policy Cache Policy Cache Option Direct I/O Description No cache is involved for both reads and writes. The data is transferred directly from host to disk and from disk to host. Cache I/O mode is NOT available. Read Policy No Read Ahead The controller does not use read-ahead.
RAID Functionality and Features 4.3.6 Intel® RAID Controller RS2WC080 and RS2WC040 TPS Physical Drive Roaming Physical drive roaming allows the user to move drives to any port on the RAID controller without losing the configuration. 4.3.7 Virtual Drive Roaming Virtual drive roaming allows the user to move a virtual drive from one controller to another system/controller without losing the configuration or data. All virtual drives attached to the RAID controller must be moved as a unit. 4.3.
