RAID specifications

D: Data drive, P: Parity drive.

Although the storage system with a configuration of RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 6 provides data reliability enhanced by redundancy, there is a chance that user data could be lost due to an unexpected host, storage system hardware, or software failure. Therefore, users are requested to back up all data.

RAID Level

SAS, SAS 7.2k, flash drives mounted

RAID 1

2D+2D, 4D+4D

RAID 5

3D+1P, 4D+1P, 6D+1P, 7D+1P

RAID 6

6D+2P, 12D+2P, 14D+2P

Item

Specification

Start-up time

Item
Standard: 5-to-10 minutes.

The start-up time may be longer in proportion to the number of drive trays connected. With a maximum configuration 1 controller tray and 19 drive trays, start-up time is approximately 10 minutes.

Control method

Read LRU, Write after

Battery backup

Provided

Backup duration

Unrestricted (saving to a nonvolatile memory)

Data in the cache memory is preserved against power failures. If a power outage occurs, data in cache memory is written to drives.

When the storage system enters Cache Backup mode, the amber WARNING LED goes on to when the system starts. This warning indicates that the battery charge has dropped significantly and the remaining battery capacity is not sufficient; the storage system will continue operating with the Write Cache function disabled.

When the battery is charged, the warning indication disappears, and the storage system continues the operation in the Write Cache function.

The warning indication disappears within six hours. Even when the warning is shown, normal operation is assured in Write-Through. Read and write performance is lowered because the Write Cache function is disabled.

If the storage system is not charged for more than six months, the battery can become overcharged and sustain unrecoverable damage. To avoid this situation, charge the battery more than 3 hours every six months.

Insulation performance

Item

Specification

Insulation withstand voltage

AC 1,500 V (100 mA, 1 min)

Insulation resistance

DC 500 V, 10 M Ω or more
