18. 5 Hot spares Chapter 7 Server Administration 135 136 Disk Concatenation Disk concatenation is a method for increasing logical volume size beyond the capacity of one disk drive by creating one large volume from two or more smaller drives This lets you create arbitrarily large partitions Using this method the concatenated disks are filled with data sequentially with the second disk being written to when no space remains on the first the third when no room remains on the second and so on RAID 1 Disk Mirroring Disk mirroring RAID 1 is a technique that uses data redundancy two complete copies of all data stored on two separate disks to protect against loss of data due to disk failure One logical volume is duplicated on two separate disks Whenever the operating system needs to write to a mirrored volume both disks are updated The disks are maintained at all times with exactly the same information When the operating system needs to read from the mirrored volume it reads from whichever disk is more readily accessible at the moment which can result in enhanced performance for read operations RAID 1 offers the highest level of data protection but storage costs are high and write performance is reduced since all data must be stored twice Sun Fire V890 Server Owner s Guide September 2004 RAID 0 Disk Striping Disk striping RAID 0 is a technique for increasing system throughput by using several disk drives
