2.5. Background Information
Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks (RAID) is a storage technology used
to improve the processing capability of storage systems. This technology is
designed to provide reliability (i.e., “fault tolerance”) in disk array systems and
to take advantage of the performance gains multiple disks can offer.
RAID comes with a redundancy feature that ensures fault-tolerant,
uninterrupted disk storage operations. In the event of a disk failure, disk
access will still continue normally with the failure transparent to the host
system.
RAID has several levels and multi-level configurations including RAID 10, 30,
50 and 60. RAID levels 1, 3 and 5 are the most commonly used levels; while
the highest fault-tolerance, RAID level 6 are also available. Appendix C,
RAID Levels, gives information about these levels and the benefits of each.
Galaxy disk array controllers support hot-swapping so that a failed drive can
be replaced while the disk array system continues to function. Spares can
also be assigned so that, as soon as a drive fails, the spare is automatically
configured into the array and reconstruction will commence.
