RAID Conguration
Chapter 2: RAID Conguration
2-2 Chapter 2: RAID Conguration
2.1 Setting up RAID
The RAID card supports RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, and 60.
2.1.1 RAID definitions
RAID 0 (Data striping) optimizes two identical hard disk drives to read and write
data in parallel, interleaved stacks. Two hard disks perform the same work as a
single drive but at a sustained data transfer rate, double that of a single disk alone,
thus improving data access and storage. Use of at least two new identical hard
disk drives is required for this setup.
RAID 1 (Data mirroring) copies and maintains an identical image of data from one
drive to a second drive. If one drive fails, the disk array management software
directs all applications to the surviving drive as it contains a complete copy of
the data in the other drive. This RAID conguration provides data protection and
increases fault tolerance to the entire system. Use two new drives or use an
existing drive and a new drive for this setup. The new drive must be of the same
size or larger than the existing drive.
RAID 10 is a striped conguration with RAID 1 segments whose segments are
RAID 1 arrays. This conguration has the same fault tolerance as RAID 1, and
has the same overhead for fault-tolerance as mirroring alone. RAID 10 achieves
high input/output rates by striping RAID 1 segments. In some instances, a RAID
10 conguration can sustain multiple simultaneous drive failure. A minimum of four
hard disk drives is required for this setup.
RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more hard
disk drives. Among the advantages of RAID 5 conguration include better
HDD performance, fault tolerance, and higher storage capacity. The RAID
5 conguration is best suited for transaction processing, relational database
applications, enterprise resource planning, and other business systems. Use a
minimum of three identical hard disk drives for this setup.
RAID 50 is a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 5. It uses distributed parity and disk
striping and works best with data that requires high reliability, high request rates,
high data transfers, and medium-to-large capacity.
RAID 6 uses distributed parity, with two independent parity blocks per stripe, and
disk striping. A RAID 6 virtual drive can survive the loss of two drives without losing
data. A RAID 6 drive group, which requires a minimum of three drives, is similar to
a RAID 5 drive group. Blocks of data and parity information are written across all
drives. The parity information is used to recover the data if one or two drives fail in
the drive group.
RAID 60, a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 6, uses distributed parity, with two
independent parity blocks per stripe in each RAID set, and disk striping. A RAID 60
virtual drive can survive the loss of two drives in each of the RAID 6 sets without
losing data. It works best with data that requires high reliability, high request rates,
high data transfers, and medium-to-large capacity.
ASUS PIKE II 3108 Series 2-3
• Having RAID 0 and RAID 5 virtual disks in the same physical array is
not recommended. If a drive in the physical array has to be rebuilt, the
RAID 0 virtual disk will cause a failure during the rebuild.
• If you want to boot the system from a hard disk drive included in a created
RAID set, copy rst the RAID driver from the support CD to a oppy disk
before you install an operating system to the selected hard disk drive.
2.1.2 Installing hard disk drives
The RAID card supports SAS for RAID set conguration. For optimal performance,
install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.
To install SAS hard disks for RAID conguration:
1. Install the SAS hard disks into the drive bays following the instructions in the
system user guide.
2. Connect a SAS signal cable to the signal connector at the back of each drive
and to the SAS connector on the motherboard.
3. Connect a power cable to the power connector on each drive.
2.2 MegaRAID Configuration Utility
The AVAGO MegaRAID SAS-MFI BIOS Utility is an integrated RAID solution that
allows you to create RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, and 60 sets from SATA II/SATA III/
SAS/SAS II/SAS III hard disk drives supported by the LSI SAS 3108 12Gb/s SAS
controller.
• Create drive groups and virtual drives for storage congurations
• Delete virtual drives
• Migrate a storage conguration to a different RAID level
• Detect conguration mismatches
• Import a foreign conguration
• Display controller, virtual drive, physical drive, and change parameters.
• Scan devices connected to the controller
• Initialize virtual drives
• Check congurations for data consistency
• Create a CacheCade™ conguration
• You may use disks of different sizes; however, the size of the smallest disk
determines the “logical” size of each member disk.
• DO NOT combine Serial ATA and SAS disk drives in one volume.
• The RAID setup screens shown in this section are for reference only and
may not exactly match the items on your screen due to the controller
version difference.

2.2.10 Selecting Additional Virtual Drive Properties
This section describes the following additional virtual drive properties that you can
select while you create virtual drives. Change these parameters only if you have a
specic reason for doing so. It is usually best to keep them at their default settings.
ASUS PIKE II 3108 Series 2-15
Strip Size – The strip size is the portion of the stripe that resides on a single virtual
drive in the drive group. Strip sizes of 64 KB, 128 KB, 256 KB, 512 KB, or 1 MB are
supported.
Read Policy – Specify one of the following options to specify the read policy for
this virtual drive:
Normal – Read ahead capability lets the controller read sequentially ahead
of requested data and to store the additional data in cache memory, thereby
anticipating that the data will be needed soon. This process speeds up
reads for sequential data, but there is little improvement when the computer
accesses random data.
Ahead – Disables the read ahead capability.
Write Policy – Select one of the following options to specify the write policy for this
virtual drive:
Write Thru – In this mode, the controller sends a data transfer completion
signal to the host when the drive subsystem has received all the data in a
transaction. This option eliminates the risk of losing cached data in case of a
power failure.
Write Back – In this mode, the controller sends a data transfer completion
signal to the host when the controller cache has received all the data in a
transaction.
Write Back with BBU – In this mode the controller has no BBU or the BBU
is bad. If you do not choose this option, the controller rmware automatically
switches to the Write Thru mode if it detects a bad or missing BBU.
The write policy depends on the status of the BBU. If the BBU is not present, is
low, is failed, or is being charged, the virtual drive is still in the Write Back mode
and there is a chance of data loss.
I/O Policy – The I/O policy applies to reads on a specic virtual drive. It does not
affect the read ahead cache.
Cached – In this mode, all reads are buffered in cache memory. Cached I/O
provides faster processing.
Direct – In this mode, reads are not buffered in cache memory. Data is
transferred to the cache and the host concurrently. If the same data block
is read again, it comes from cache memory. Direct I/O makes sure that the
cache and the host contain the same data.
2-16 Chapter 2: RAID Conguration
Disk cache policy – Select a cache setting for this virtual drive:
Enable – Enable the drive cache.
Disable – Disable the drive cache.
Unchanged – Updating the drive cache policy to Unchanged may enable /
disable the drive cache based on the WCE (Write Cache Policy) bit of the
save mode page of the drive.
Emulation – Lets you to set the emulation type on a virtual drive to default or
none. The force option forces the emulation to be set on a controller even when
MFC settings do not support it. The possible options are Default, Disabled, or
Forced.
Initialize – Select to initialize the virtual drive. Initialization prepares the storage
medium for use. Fast initialization will be performed on the virtual drive.
Configure Hot Spare – Select to congure physical drives as hot spares for the
newly created virtual drive.
This option is enabled only if there are additional drives and if they are eligible to
