2-6 NOTE: • A "logical drive" is a set of drives grouped together to operate under a given RAID level and it appears as a single contiguous volume. The controller is capable of grouping drives into as many as 128 logical drives, configured in the same or different RAID levels. • A total of 32 "logical volumes" can be created each from one or several logical drives. A logical drive or logical volume can be divided into a maximum of 64 "Partitions." 5. The next step is to make logical drives or storage partitions available through the host ports. When associated with a host ID or LUN number, each capacity volume appears as one system drive. The host SCSI or Fibre adapter will recognize the system drives after the host bus is re-initialized. 6. The last step is to save your configuration profile in the host system drive or to the logical drives you created. The controller is totally independent from the host operating system. The host operating system will not be able to tell whether the attached storage is a physical hard drive or the virtual system drives created by the RAID controller. Infortrend
2.3 Operation Theory 2.3.1 I/O Channel, SCSI ID, and LUN Depending on the interface used by a RAID system, a SCSI drive channel (SCSI bus) can connect up to 15 drives (excluding the RAID controller itself). A Fibre Channel has up to 125 drives in a loop. Each device occupies one unique ID. The figure on the left illustrates the idea of mapping a system drive to host ID/LUN combinations. The host ID is like a cabinet, and the drawers are the LUNs (LUN is short for Logical Unit Number). Each cabinet (host ID) contains up to 32 drawers (LUNs). Data can be made available through one of the LUNs of a host ID. Most host adapters treat a LUN like another device. Figure 2 - 3 SCSI ID/LUNs 2.3.2 Grouping Drives into an Array Figure 2 - 4 Connecting Drives The physical connection of a RAID controller should be similar to the one shown above. Drives are connected through I/O paths that have been designated as drive channels. The next diagram shows two logical configurations of drives and the physical locations of its members. Using drives from different channels can lower the risk of fatal failure if one of the drive channels fails. There is no limitation on the locations of spares. RAID Planning 2-7
