2.1 Configure RAIDThe Avid MediaDock RAID allows configuration of storage into DVRAID, JBOD, RAID Level 0, RAID Level 1, RAID Level 10 or RAID Level 5 with partitions. RAID is a storage configuration which uses multiple drives to increase capacity, performance and/or reliability.

CAUTIONCAUTIONSelecting Commit during RAID configuration causes all previous storage data on the drive to be erased. Make sure all of your information is backed up before setting up or changing RAID groups. Initialize and verify drives

Before creating any RAID group you must initialize and verify your drives. When selected, the Avid MediaDock RAID writes a pattern to the entire drive. You may choose to have the entire initialized area read back and verified for integrity.

CAUTIONCAUTIONSelecting Drive Initialization causes all previous storage data on the drive to be erased. Make sure all of your information is backed up before initializing drives.

During initialization and verification, the Avid MediaDock RAID collects performance measurements. Performance data is available at the end of verification. This data is lost when the MediaDock RAID is powered off.1 If you are not already in the MediaDock RAID

2 Click on the Manage button.3 The Manage menu appears.4 Click on the Add/Remove Hot Spares button5 Click on Next.6 Follow the on-screen directions. When you

have completed your changes, click on Commit.


2.2 Use partitions to create storage efficiencyRAID groups may have up to several Terabytes total data capacity. Partitions provide more LUNs without using lower capacity RAID groups.

Most host systems can only address 2 TB per LUN. Partitioning increases storage efficiency by providing more LUNs without using lower capacity RAID groups. Partitioning allows the creation of multiple logical volumes. Long LBA (64 bit addressing) allows you to take full advantage of the increasing storage capacity.

The Avid Digital Video wizard in the browser-based GUI creates partitions automatically to ensure no single partition exceeds 2TB. You can use the Custom Setup option to make a RAID group with custom partitions if required. Follow the directions in the browser-based GUI.

14

2.3 Use Hot Spare drives to replace faulted drivesFor those who have set up RAID configurations without using the Avid Digital Video wizard (refer to Configure RAID on page 11): if a drive in a RAID group becomes degraded or faulted, you lose some redundancy in your RAID group until a new member is rebuilt into the RAID group. However, Hot Spare devices may be designated as replacements for faulted devices without intervention by you or a host.

If you have set up RAID groups to use Hot Spares during the initial manual setup (refer to Initial manual configuration on page 12), the Avid MediaDock RAID replaces degraded or faulted drive in RAID groups without intervention by you or a host. You may set up a pool of Hot Spare devices of different sizes appropriate for your RAID groups.

NoteDrives in the Hot Spare pool should be of appropriate size to the RAID Group attached to the MediaDock RAID so that smaller defaulted drives do not need to be replaced by much larger Hot Spare devices, thus wasting storage space.

When the Avid MediaDock RAID detects a faulted device, the Controller searches the Hot Spare pool for the smallest block device of sufficient size to substitute for the faulted drive.The Avid MediaDock RAID replaces the faulted device with the device from the Hot Spare pool.The Avid MediaDock RAID begins an automatic rebuild of the RAID groups.

Add Hot Spares after manual RAID Group setupIf you have chosen to set up RAID configurations using the initial manual configuration (refer to page 12), you may choose to create Hot Spares.

Using Hot Spares in your RAID configuration reduces the space available to your RAID Group. Performance may also be lower.1 If you are not already in the MediaDock RAID

2 Click on the Manage button.3 The Manage menu appears.4 Click on the MediaDock RAID arrow.5 Click on the Add/Remove Hot Spares button6 Click on Next.7 Follow the on-screen directions. When you

have completed your changes, click on Commit


2.4 Monitor the system remotely with E-mailYou may set up the Avid MediaDock RAID to send notifications by E-mail when certain events occur.

E-mail notification allows the MediaDock RAID to send an E-mail message to you, a network administrator or other users when certain events occur with the MediaDock RAID. Serious error messages are sent immediately, while messages for less serious errors are sent every 15 minutes.• SCSI device errors such as medium error,

RAID rebuild priorityThe MediaDock RAID prioritizes RAID rebuilding based on drive activity. If there is heavy drive activity, rebuilding is given a low priority to provide maximum performance to your application. If no activity is detected, rebuilding is given a high priority so that rebuilding takes less time.

NoteWith no drive activity, a 146 GB drive takes about 60 minutes to rebuild. With drive activity, a 146 GB drive may take up to six hours to rebuild.

i Avid MediaDock RAID Installation and Operation Manual

Appendix A Cabling optionsAdditional information to physically connect ports to devices and to your SAN.

SCSI cabling Cables and devices must be chosen to maximize performance and minimize the electrical noise from the high-speed data transfers available with the SCSI protocol. Cabling and termination methods become important considerations for proper performance. SCSI cables and devices are subject to specific length and number limitations to deal with electrical problems that arise at increased operating speeds.

Cable typesUse high-quality cables rated for the type of SCSI transfers required: well-insulated SCSI cables ensure error free communications. Try to keep cable lengths as short as possible to ensure higher signal quality and performance.

NoteUltraSCSI is very sensitive to SCSI bus noise, cable distances and the number of devices connected on the SCSI bus. Carefully connect your devices when working with UltraSCSI.

Exhibit A-1 Various types of SCSI operate at different speeds and require different bus lengths to support a certain number of devices.

Connecting SCSI devices to SCSI portsSCSI ports connect SCSI storage devices to the network. Each SCSI port is totally independent from the other SCSI port.Each SCSI port is a bus capable of supporting 15 devices and each bus is capable of 40, 80 or 160 MB/sec. (Ultra, Ultra2 or Ultra160) transfer rates.

Each SCSI bus auto-negotiates the appropriate sync rates with the connected devices. If slower devices are mixed with faster devices, the bus communicates at the rate of the slowest device, thus wasting the performance capabilities of the faster devices. Connect slower devices to one SCSI port and connect faster devices to the other port.

iiAppendix

The Avid MediaDock RAID supports a wide variety of SCSI storage devices including stand-alone drives, removable drives, JBODs, RAIDs, tape, CD and DVD drives, changers and libraries.1 Connect the cable from the SCSI device to a

VHDCI SCSI port on the Avid MediaDock RAID.

2 Check the type of cable, cable length limit and number of devices recommended for the port. See Exhibit A-1 .

Keep cable lengths as short as possible to ensure the highest signal quality and performance. These cable lengths include the wiring inside the devices.

3 Set the IDs of the SCSI devices connected to the Avid MediaDock RAID to a value other than 7.

Use a sequential ID starting at 0 for each device. The SCSI port has an internal factory setting ID of 7, typical for a SCSI initiator device.

4 Terminate the SCSI bus after the last device. The Avid MediaDock RAID is terminated internally.

Fibre Channel connectionsThe Fibre Channel port connects the Avid MediaDock RAID into either a Fabric or Arbitrated Loop.

The Avid MediaDock RAID uses optical SFP connectors and multimode fiber optic cable.

Make sure all cables are anchored securely at both ends with the proper connectors. Use the shortest possible cable length for best performance.

Ethernet connectionUse at least Cat 5e cable to connect the Ethernet port to your network.

NoteFor best performance, all cabling, network interface cards (NICs), host adapters (HAs), and network switches must be Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), and at least Cat 5e certified. Most standard offices use 2-pair wiring which is not compatible. GbE requires 4-pair wiring.

For best performance, support for 9014 byte jumbo frames should be available for all switches and host equipment.

Before you begin installing the Ethernet ports, be sure to check or complete the following:• Be sure your host system(s) is set up and

configured.

• Your host system can use any of three different types of cards: a network interface card (NIC), a TCP/IP offload engine card (TOE), or a storage network interface card (SNIC).

• The driver file from the CD included with your Avid MediaDock RAID installed on your host.

• The switch has been configured to forward UDP broadcast messages.

• The minimum requirement for Windows-based browsers is Internet Explorer 5.5 or Netscape Navigator 6.2. The minimum requirement for Macintosh browsers is Internet Explorer 5.2 or Safari 1.2.

iii Avid MediaDock RAID Installation and Operation Manual

Appendix B Design RAID groupsThe Avid MediaDock RAID provides readily-available RAID functionality to existing SCSI storage independent of the product form-factor or the transport protocols used to access storage.

CAUTIONCAUTIONSelecting RAID configuration causes all previous storage data on the drive to be erased. Make sure all of your information is backed up before setting up RAID groups.

The Avid MediaDock RAID allows RAID functionality. In general, the process begins with individual drives also called block devices.

NoteIf a drive has corrupt or outdated configuration data, that drive cannot be assigned to any RAID Group. Ensure all drives to be assigned to RAID groups are configured properly. Refer to Configure RAID on page 11.

A RAID Group is a virtual, independent single drive whose data is written to physical drives according to a RAID algorithm. A RAID Group may be organized into partitions representing subsets of the total storage available. The storage accessible through a partition may then be mapped to an Avid MediaDock RAID front-end unit such as a LUN. Each mapped partition appears as an independent block drive to a host. The Avid MediaDock RAID supports DVRAID (Digital Video RAID), JBOD, RAID Level 0, RAID Level 1, RAID Level 10 and RAID Level 5. DVRAID (Digital Video RAID)Digital Video RAID provides parity redundancy for your data. Optimized for performance for the high data transfer rates required in digital video environments, DVRAID is ATTO Technology proprietary technology which supports the editing of uncompressed 10-bit High Definition (HD) video and multiple streams of real-time, uncompressed Stand Definition (SD) video.DVRAID is used with the Avid one-button setup.

JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) configuration allows many individual drives to be available for normal storage operations with no special data protection. Using the Avid MediaDock RAID allows you to concatenate several individual drives into one large drive, then partition it as required. A partitioned JBOD drive can be constructed as a special case of a RAID Group. When multiple physical block drives are assigned to a JBOD RAID Group, their storage areas appear as a single spanned area of storage. The Avid MediaDock RAID supports 1 to 32 drives per JBOD-configured RAID Group.

Exhibit A-2 JBOD: Just a Bunch of Disks: no redundancy; each disk is treated independently

RAID Level 0 RAID Level 0 (striping) is based on the fact that increased performance can be achieved by simultaneously accessing data across multiple drives, increasing data transfer rates while reducing average access time by overlapping drive seeks. RAID Level 0 groups provide data that is striped across several drives. Drives are accessed alternately, as if stacked one on top of the other.RAID Level 0 provides no data protection. If one drive fails, all data within that stripe set is lost.The Avid MediaDock RAID supports 2 to 32 block drives per RAID Level 0 group.

JBODDisk 0 Disk 1 Disk 2

D0 D4 D8D1 D5 D9D2 D6 D10D3 D7 D11

ivAppendix

RAID Level 0 is used by applications requiring high performance for non-critical data.

Exhibit A-3 Exhibit 1.0-2 RAID Level 0, no redundancy

RAID Level 1RAID Level 1 ensures the security of data by writing the exact same data simultaneously to two or more different drives. This application is for users with critical data which cannot be lost or corrupted due to the failure of a single drive. With RAID Level 1, the host sees what it believes to be a single physical drive of a specific size: it does not know about the mirrored pair. The Avid MediaDock RAID manages where data is written and read, allowing one drive to fail without the host knowing it has failed. RAID Level 1 is used in applications containing mission critical data. The Avid MediaDock RAID supports an even number of 2 to 32 block drives per RAID Level 1 group.

Exhibit A-4 RAID Level 1: Data is written to two or more drives simultaneously.

RAID Level 10 RAID Level 10 increases data transfer rates while ensuring security by writing the exact same data simultaneously to two or more different drives. RAID Level 10 is used in applications requiring high performance and redundancy, combining the attributes of RAID Levels 1 and 0. The Avid MediaDock RAID supports an even number of 4 to 32 block drives per RAID Level 10 group.

Exhibit A-5 RAID Level 10 with mirroring and spanning; redundancy is shown in shaded blocks.

RAID Level 5 RAID Level 5 increases reliability while using fewer drives than mirroring by employing parity redundancy. Distributed parity on multiple drives allows you to rebuild a failed drive from the remaining good drives. The Avid MediaDock RAID operates in degraded mode if a drive fails. The Avid MediaDock RAID supports 3 to 32 block drives per RAID Level 5 group.

v Avid MediaDock RAID Installation and Operation Manual

Appendix C CLI provides ASCII-based interfaceThe command line interface (CLI) provides access to the Avid MediaDock RAID through a set of ASCII commands. CLI commands may be entered while in CLI mode.

The command line interface (CLI) is a set of ASCII-based commands which monitor and manage the Avid MediaDock RAID while in CLI mode. • CLI commands are context sensitive and

generally follow a standard format

[Get|Set] Command [Parameter1|Parameter2]

followed by the return or enter key• CLI commands are case insensitive: you may

type all upper or all lower case or a mixture. Upper and lower case in this manual and the help screen are for clarification only.

• Commands generally have three types of operation: get, set and immediate.

• The get form returns the value of a parameter or setting and is an informational command.

• Responses to get commands are followed by Ready.

• The set form is an action that changes the value of a parameter or configuration setting. It may require a SaveConfiguration command and a restart of the system before it is implemented. The restart can be accomplished as part of the SaveConfiguration command or by using a separate FirmwareRestart command. A number of set commands may be issued before the SaveConfiguration command.

• Responses to set commands are either an error message or Ready. *. The asterisk indicates you must use a SaveConfiguration command to finalize the set command. SaveConfiguration asks if you want to restart the system or not.

• Set commands which do not require a SaveConfiguration command, defined as immediate commands, are immediately executed.

• Responses to Immediate commands are either an error message or data results followed by Ready.

RMStatus Displays the status of all RAID Members within the specified RAID Group or a specific RAID member (if specified) within the specified RAID Group. This command fails if the specified RAID Group does not exist or a specified member index within the RAID Group does not exist. RMStatus [GroupName] <MemberIndex>

Route Assigns a SCSI LUN protocol address to a target. If the Avid MediaDock RAID is used, more than one SCSI LUN may be assigned to a partition. An attempt to map a new partition to the same SCSI LUN results in an overwrite of the previous map. Use the Delete identifier to remove the map. In verbose mode, overwriting a map requires secondary confirmation of the action. Route FC [fp] [fl] [ [RAID [GroupName] [PartIdx] ] | Bridge|

Delete]

RouteDisplay Displays a list of FC name to partition mappings. The optional fp parameter limits the list to the maps for the given fp. The optional LUN parameter limits the list to the maps for the given LUN.RouteDisplay FC <fp> <LUN>

SaveConfigurationMany commands require a SaveConfiguration command to be executed indicated by the return Ready. *. When you invoke a SaveConfiguration command, the current configuration is permanently saved in the Avid MediaDock RAID and the new configuration becomes the active configuration. If a firmware restart is required to make the requested change permanent, you are asked to confirm the restart. You can override this request by indicating the override value on the command line. You may make several changes through commands before implementing the restart, but once you have restarted the Avid MediaDock RAID, all the command changes created before the restart and save are implemented. If you select the restart option, the Avid MediaDock RAID executes its complete start up cycle.SaveConfiguration <Restart | NoRestart>
