7. Sometimes it is convenient to combine some co related WWNs into one ID range as a single filter entry This ID range is obtained by AND ing the host WWN and the Range Mask which are both 64 bit entities For example if hosts 0x210000e0 8b03dc84 and 0x210000e0_ 8b03dc85 have the same access control they can be combined as a single filter entry using either WWN as host WWN with Range Mask setting as OxFFFFFFFF_FFFFFFFE Note that under most circumstances the Range Mask is left as OxFFFFFFFF_FFFFFFFF which means that only a single WWN is specified for that filter entry Filter Type Each filter entry can be set to include or exclude certain host s from data access If a node s WWN falls in an ID range specified as Exclude the related Volume Set will be invisible to this node and no data access Is possible If a node s WWN falls in an ID range specified as Include and does not fall in any ID range specified as Exclude this node will be allowed to access the data of the related Volume Set The access mode can be specified as normal Read Write or restricted Read Only If a node s WWN falls in none of the ranges and there is at least one Include type entry specified this node is considered as Excluded otherwise it is considered as Included x Access Mode NOTE When no Filter Entries are specified for a Volume Set any node can access the Volume Set as there is no LUN masking For certain ap

RAID 1 arrays can be striped together to create a single large array consisting of pairs of mirrored drives All writes must go to both drives of a mirrored pair so that the information on the drives is kept identical However each individual drive can perform simultaneous independent read operations Mirroring thus doubles the read performance of a single non mirrored drive and while the write performance is unchanged RAID 1 delivers the best performance of any redundant array type In addition there is less performance degradation during drive failure than in RAID 5 arrays Duplicate data is written to pairs of drives DATA DATA DATA DATA DATA DATA Aiii Reads can occur simultaneously on every drive 42 User Manual Fibre to SATA RAID Subsystem RAID 3 sector stripes data across groups of drives but one drive in the group is dedicated for storing parity information RAID 3 relies on the embedded ECC in each sector for error detection In the case of drive failure data recovery is accomplished by calculating the exclusive OR XOR of the information recorded on the remaining drives Records typically span all drives which optimizes the disk transfer rate Because each I O request accesses every drive in the array RAID 3 arrays can satisfy only one I O request at a time RAID 3 delivers the best performance for single user single tasking environments with long records Synchronized spindle drives are required for RAI
