Chapter 6

This chapter provides instructions for setting up, creating, and configuring RAID sets using the available utilities.

RAID configuration

Setting up RAID
The Intel ICH7R Southbridge chip comes with the L S I L o g i c E m b e d d e d r. S A T A R A I D U t i l i t y and the I n t e l M a t r i x S t o r a g e M a n a g e r These utilities support SATA hard disk drives and allow creation of RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, or software RAID 5 (Intel Matrix Storage Manager only) configuration.

RAID definitions

R A I D 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 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 configuration 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. R A I D 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more hard disk drives. Among the advantages of RAID 5 configuration include better HDD performance, fault tolerance, and higher storage capacity. The RAID 5 configuration 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. R A I D 0 + 1 ( R A I D ) is data striping and data mirroring combined without parity (redundancy data) having to be calculated and written. With the RAID 0+1 configuration you get all the benefits of both RAID 0 and RAID 1 configurations. Use four new hard disk drives or use an existing drive and three new drives for this setup. J B O D (Spanning) stands for J u s t a B u n c h o f D i s k s and refers to hard disk drives that are not yet configured as a RAID set. This configuration stores the same data redundantly on multiple disks that appear as a single disk on the operating system. Spanning does not deliver any advantage over using separate disks independently and does not provide fault tolerance or other RAID performance benefits.

You may have to use another system to create the RAID driver disk from the system/motherboard support CD or from the Internet.
A floppy disk with the RAID driver is required when installing Windows 2000/XP or Red Hat Enterprise ver. 3.0/SuSE operating system on a hard disk drive that is included in a RAID set. You can create a RAID driver disk in DOS (using the Makedisk application in the support CD). To create a RAID driver disk in DOS environment: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Place the motherboard support CD in the optical drive. Restart the computer, then enter the BIOS Setup. Select the optical drive as the first boot priority to boot from the support CD. Save your changes, then exit the BIOS Setup. Restart the computer. Press any key when prompted to boot from CD.
Loading FreeDOS FAT KERNEL GO! Press any key to boot from CDROM.
The Makedisk menu appears.
Place a blank, high-density floppy disk to the floppy disk drive, then select the type of RAID driver disk you want to create by typing the number before the option Press <Enter>. Follow screen instructions to create the driver disk.
For systems with Red Hat Enterprise versions that are not listed in the Makedisk menu, explore the support CD and copy the RAID driver disk from the following path: \ D r i v e r s \ C h i p s e t \ I C H \ L S I \ D r i v e r \ L i n u x x.
