RAID

Multiple arrays configurable with dedicated or global hot sparesRAID levels supported: RAID 0, 1 (0+1), 3, 5, 10, 30, 50, and NRAIDOnline expansion by

1. Adding new drives
2. Copying and replacing drives with drives of larger capacity

Automatic background rebuildConfigurable stripe size and write policy per arrayIntelligent drive handling:

1. In degraded mode: skips irreparable blocks to continue rebuild
2. In normal operation: data-block verification and repair

Management

Front LCD control panel for setup and configuration10/100 BaseT Ethernet for out-of-band managementRS-232C for local access to firmware-embedded utilityFirmware-embedded Java-based RAIDWatch® GUI manager

1. VT-100 terminal emulation via RS-232C
2. Telnet access via onboard Ethernet port
3. Cross-platform, remote administration with SSL
4. Out-of-band access via Ethernet (GUI-onboard)
5. Centralized management to monitor and administer multiple RAID units on one screen

SNMP agent support:

1. SNMP trap event notification with plain-text event message (no MIB file required)
2. SNMP V2.0 MIB file support with get-and-set commands

Indicators

Onboard alarm is triggered when one of the following modules fails:

1. RAID controller module
2. Cooling module
3. Power supply unit
4. Hard drive

Notification Processing Center (NPC) for real-time event notification over email, LAN broadcast, or SNMP trapsModule status LED indicators:

1. Two (2) per drive tray
2. One (1) per cooling module
3. One (1) per power supply unit
4. Three (3) per LCD panel
5. Six (6) per RAID controller module

Module failure alert through I²C bus Auto switch cache policy and Auto shutdownWhen a RAID controller detects conditions exceeding preset thresholds, the following actions will be exerted to protect the hardware:

1. Cached data is automatically flushed and the array’s caching mode switches from write-back to write-through mode.
2. If conditions persist past the preset period of time, auto shutdown of the controller will commence.

All thresholds associated with this mechanism are user configurable and, once a subsystem manager restores the normal operating conditions, the caching mode changes from write-through back to write-back mode.

Intelligent Drive Handling

If two bad blocks occur on two member drives of an array, the integrity of the stored data is endangered. Media Scan, Infortrend’s innovative intelligent drive handling function, retrieves data from the damaged sectors. Media Scan handles low quality drives in both the degraded mode and during the rebuild process. For additional data security, other intelligent drive management features include the transparent resetting of hung hard drives, power-failure management, and bad-drive handling during LD expansion.
