Raid PPT

This document discusses RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) and various RAID types and levels. It covers software-based RAID, hardware-based RAID, and data organization in RAID. Standard RAID levels described include RAID 0, 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6. RAID 0 provides striping for performance but no fault tolerance, while RAID 1 uses mirroring for redundancy. Higher RAID levels like 3, 4, 5, and 6 implement striping with parity for fault tolerance through parity blocks or disks. Combination levels such as 0+1 and 1+0 are also summarized.

AGENDA

WHAT IS RAID
Redundant Array of Independent/Inexpensive disk

WHY WE GO FOR RAID ?

RAID TYPES
Software-Based RAID
RAID task runs on the CPU of your computer system.
1) Pure software solution Low cost Unprotected at boot - Drive failure or corrupted data during boot and before the RAID software become active leads to an inoperable system. Limited operating system migration No write-back cache:

2) Hybrid solution - some hardware designed to increase performance


RAID BIOS integrated onto the motherboard The additional BIOS makes the RAID functionality available when the system is switched on, providing redundancy during boot

Hardware Based RAID

Data Organization
Groups of contiguously addressed blocks - strips Set of strips span across all disks stripe Performance in a striped array is dependant on the stripe width - the number of drives in the array stripe size - the size of the chunks of data being written across the array

DATA STRIPPING
Striping - Cutting Data in to Pieces Byte level Block level. Byte level striping - Range From 2 KB to 512 KB of Even higher allow the selection of block sizes Block levelstriping - stripe size of 1 byte to 512 bytes usually not selectable by the user. stripe size -- depends on type of application we use Larger stripes - fewer accesses to the disk. Large No.of.Small Read and Write EX: Database Server Smaller stripes - data accessed more quickly Small No of Larger files read quickly EX:throughput-intensive applications such as video production and editing.

RAID LEVELS
STANDARD LEVELS 0 Striped Array with no fault Tolerance 1 Mirrored Disks 3 - Byte-level striping with dedicated parity disk 4 - Block-level striping with dedicated parity disk 5 - Block-level striping with distributed parity 6 - Block-level striping with double distributed parity
