RAID Controller Failover by Steve Holly
I'm an IT admin starting to look at building a SAN for my company and I'm curious if anyone out there can explain how some of the popular RAID vendors (i.e. EMC, Chaparral, Infortrend) handle failover (resuming I/O with another RAID controller after one has failed)? I'm mostly interested in...

Destroying Old Media by Yoann Roman
Perhaps an odd question... We've found a set of really old DAT and DDS backup tapes that we have neither the backup software nor the drives to read/write. However, labels indicate these may contain sensitive data. How would I go about destroying these w/o investment or illegal...

Teaming of paths by Marcel
Hi all, In a network environment it's possible to team/trunk multiple lines between switches and/or hosts to one virtual single connection boosting throughput. Is this also possible in a san environment? I ask this because I've recently obtained a Dell Powervault 660F wich is configurable with...

L1/L2 cache question by v796
Hi, An L1 cache is split(I,D) or unified. Most(All?) of the time an L2 cache is unified. Are there any processors out there which use a split/unified L1 cache backed by a *unified* L2 cache? Is there any motivation in doing this? I am confused since IMHO, all the instruction opcodes ought to fit...

Pros and Cons of booting from SAN? by ohaya
Hi, This question may be in a FAQ, and if so, please point me to it... We're considering the possibility of configuring some servers (a mix of Sun and Wintel) off of a SAN (EMC) for a new system. I kind of understand the potential positives, e.g., having images stored in a central place, but my...

Raid level write verification by teckytim
Is it true that Raid levels like 1, 1+0, 3, 4 verify on the fly that both the data write and the ecc write match while levels like raid 5 don't (with few exceptions on the very high end)? Is this dependant rather on make & model? TIA
