41. evel migration 1 2 Introduction 1 2 RAID Concepts RAID Fundamentals The basic idea of RAID Redundant Array of Independent Disks is to combine multiple inexpensive disk drives into an array of disk drives to obtain performance capacity and reliability that exceeds that of a single large drive The array of drives appears to the host computer as a single logical drive Six types of array architectures RAID 1 through RAID 6 were originally defined each provides disk fault tolerance with different compromises in features and performance In addition to these five redundant array architectures it has become popular to refer to a non redundant array of disk drives as a RAID O array Disk Striping Fundamental to RAID technology is striping This is a method of combining multiple drives into one logical storage unit Striping partitions the storage space of each drive into stripes which can be as small as one sector 512 bytes or as large as several megabytes These stripes are then interleaved in a rotating sequence so that the combined space is composed alternately of stripes from each drive The specific type of operating environment determines whether large or small stripes should be used Most operating systems today support concurrent disk I O operations across multiple drives However in order to maximize throughput for the disk subsystem the I O load must be balanced across all the drives so that each drive can be kep
