24. RAID 5 arrays RAID 6 is essentially an extension of RAID level 5 which allows for additional fault tolerance by using a second independent distributed parity scheme two dimensional parity Data is striped on a block level across a set of drives just like in RAID 5 and a second set of parity is calculated and written across all the drives RAID 6 provides for an extremely high data fault tolerance and can sustain multiple simultaneous drive failures It is a perfect solution for mission critical applications 16 User Manual Fibre to SAS SATA Disk Array RAI D Management The subsystem can implement several different levels of RAID technology RAID levels Supported by the subsystem are shown below Block striping is provide which yields higher performance than with individual drives There is no redundancy Drives are paired and mirrored All data is 100 duplicated on an equivalent drive Fully redundant Data is striped across several physical drives 3 Parity protection is used for data redundancy Data is striped across several physical drives 3 Parity protection is used for data redundancy Data is striped across several physical drives Parity protection is used for data redundancy Requires N 2 drives to implement because of two dimensional parity scheme Combination of RAID levels 1 and 0 This level provides striping and redundancy through mirroring RAID 10 requires the use of an even number of disk drives

The following elements are the connectivity of storages and Server components using the Fibre channel technology Cables and connectors There are different types of cables of varies lengths for use in a Fibre Channel configuration Two types of cables are supported Copper and Optical fiber Copper cables are used for short distances and transfer data up to 30 meters per link Fiber cables come in two distinct types Multi Mode fiber MMF for short distances up to 2km and Single Mode Fiber SMF for longer distances up to 10 kilometers By default the Disk Array supports two short wave multi mode fibre optic SFP connectors Fibre Channel Adapter Fibre Channel Adapter is a device that is connected to a workstation server or host system and control the protocol for communications Hubs Fibre Channel hubs are used to connect up to 126 nodes into a logical loop All connected nodes share the bandwidth of this one logical loop Each port on a hub contains a Port Bypass Circuit PBC to automatically open and close the loop to support hot pluggability Switched Fabric Switched fabric is the highest performing device available for interconnecting large number of devices increasing bandwidth reducing congestion and providing aggregate throughput Each device is connected to a port on the switch enabling an on demand connection to every connected device Each node on a Switched fabric uses an aggregate throughput data path to se
