RAID! by
_|_|_
I'm trying to find info on how Raid 5 works *in the case of 3 data
drives + 1 parity*. I understand how exor'ing 2 data would yield a
parity bit, but the 3data/1parity algorithm eludes me. I can't think
of how you'd have enough info to recover, even if there were such
a thing as a 3-input Exor....

Best way to image active system partitions by
_R
To my knowldege, there are still 3 major players in drive imaging:
Drive Image, Ghost and Acronis. Since the first two seem to be
in a state of flux, I thought Acronis would be the best bet.
Their simple, directl layouts general present things in a
way that can be understood in the context of the...

RAID 1 solution for desktop by
David Beasley
Hello All,
I need to implement a RAID 1 solution for a high end desktop machine,
and I'm considering 2 options:
1) Use the onboard(cheap) SATA RAID controller on my motherboard with 2
Western Digital Raptor WD740GD 74GB 10K SATA drives.
Approximate cost: $400.00
2) Purchase new SCSI RAID...

DVD changers for burners??? [revisited] by

Well guys, I finally found my 'holy grail' robot to physically automate

those office copier sized machines that only institutions can get enough use
out of to get a return on their institutional sized investment. However,...

A few questions before assembling Linux 7.5TB RAID 5 array by
Yeechang Lee
I'm shortly going to be setting up a Linux software RAID 5 array using
16 500GB SATA drives with one HighPoint RocketRAID 2240 PCI-X
controller (i.e., the controller will be used for its 16 SATA ports,
not its "hardware" fakeraid). The array will be used to store and
serve locally and via gigabit...

SAS / SATA RAID to Fibre? by
Will
Does anyone make a standalone 1U or 2U rackmount device that does RAID 5 and
6 for SATA or SAS drives, and exposes the logical drive upstream by fibre
channel?
I'm wanting to use one of these per server, so space is an issue and a full
on RAID controller with added separate cabinet for SAS or...

LUN sharing (DS4300 with storage partitions) by
aecc
Hi all,
How can I configure DS4300 (with storage partitions)
to allow a logical drive to be accesible by all hosts in the SAN ?
We are going to use Sanergy with TSM for LAN-free backup purposes.
Thanks in advance.

how about paging to SAN? by

Hi, I'm considering to deploy my paging space in a SAN product, say,
HDS AMS1000. I know it's a safer decision to use rootvg but I think it
worths a discussion.
It's a olap application so the paging is major of big data blocks.
Pls share your opinions and pls share the experience using a paging...

I am looking into what it will take to support continuous (not burst)

VTL vs. Backup to Disk by
[email protected]
I'm trying to figure out the pros and cons for backing up to a disk
device vs. using a virtual tape library like the Clariion Disk Library.
You're backing up to disk on both of them, presumably at the same
speeds but it seems that the VTL adds a level of complexity and cost.
Does anyone have any...

RAID1 rebuild time question by
Frank de Groot
I have a RAID1 with a Silicon Image SATA controller sil3114.
Often, my PC bluescreens (that caused data corruption on my previous HD so I
switched to RAID1).
The SATARAID utility reports in such cases always an "event" (exceeding
S.M.A.R.T status) and starts rebuilding.
Incidentally, the same...

HP EVA3000" vs IBM DS4300 Turbo by

We are in the process of setting up a SAN of 2TBs and we are trying to
decide between these two systems. EVA3000 permits virtualraid. IBM?
For example, with 14 discs, EVA permits me to make a lun, partition it
in different raid types to use it in the distinct servers. IBM?
Can anyone help out?...
