HighPoint

1.1 Serial ATA Overview

Serial ATA is a high performance interface for IDE storage devices, and is the evolutionary replacement for the longstanding ATA physical storage interface. It is a practical add-on solution that is compatible with today's leading operating systems, and can be utilized alongside the existing PC architecture without the need for physical modification. Serial ATA is scalable and will allow for future enhancements of the computing platform. Serial ATA's efficient design further simplifies system integration.

1.2 RAID Basics

The term RAID is an acronym, and stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. RAID is a method of combining several hard disk drives (physical disks) into one logical unit (logical disk). This logical unit is referred to as the RAID array.

Arrays offer several advantages over standard, single-disk configurations - fault tolerance and/or higher data throughput (improved security and/or performance).

Hard disk drives can be combined into several different types of RAID arrays. These different combinations are referred to as RAID levels.

Different RAID levels offer different advantages, depending upon the number of hard disks used, and the security, cost, and performance requirements.

The most common types of RAID arrays include RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 5. RAID 5 is a popular choice: it is a very cost-effective solution, and provides both improved performance, and data security. It requires a minimum of three hard disk drives. RAID 5 includes a rotating parity array, thus, all read and write operations can be overlapped. RAID 5 arrays store parity information, but not redundant data.

There are also several types of combined-RAID levels, or hybrid arrays, such as RAID 1/0 (also known as RAID 10).

The table displayed on the following page describes some of the more common types of RAID arrays, the minimum number of hard drives required, and the benefits offered by each type RAID level.

Serial ATA RAID Function and High Performance

Serial ATA provides multi level RAID supports including RAID 0, 1, 1/0, 5 and JBOD, as well as powerful software management functions. RocketRAID 1640 Serial ATA RAID controller's performance increase to 1.5Gb/s.

Thin, unrestrictive Cable Design is easy to Configure, and improves Chassis Cooling

Serial ATA's efficient design further simplifies system integration. Serial ATA cables are considerably more compact than standard IDE cables, and are much easier to configure and arrange within a computer's chassis.

The thin serial ATA cables also significantly improve airflow within the computer's chassis - this helps combat the risk of damage to vital PC components due to excessive heat retention.

IDE Hard Disk Compatible

The RocketRAID 1640 is compatible with the RocketHead 100 IDE to Serial ATA converters.

This device allows users to connect ATA100 and ATA133 parallel IDE hard disk drives to the Serial ATA controller. This converter is ideal for those who do not have Serial ATA hard disks, or want to avoid using multiple host adapters.

3.7 Duplicate Critical RAID 1 array

If a RAID 1 duplication procedure has been canceled, or any problem or fault that may have lead to an inconsistency between the data on the source disk/disk array, and the backup data on the target disk/disk array, is detected, the BIOS will display a warning message during the computer's boot-up procedure. The faulty disk/disk array will be marked as critical in the status column, and the BIOS will automatically prompt you to duplicate the array to repair the inconsistency. See the image below:

Select the Rebuild option to duplicate, or select Continue to boot to skip this procedure. The array can be repaired using after the operating system has booted, using the RAID software (chapter 4 covers this subject).

3.8 Rebuilding a Broken RAID array

If the BIOS detects that a RAID 1 has been broken, when a spare disk is unavailable, several options will be displayed. See the image below:

1. Power off

This command provides the option to power off the system and replace the failed disk with a fresh unit. If the system does not support APM (advanced power management), you must power down the computer manually. After replacing the failed disk, and starting the system, access the BIOS configuration utility, and rebuild the damaged array (see option 4 - Rebuild).

2. Destroy

This option is designed for use with RAID 1 arrays, and will delete the RAID relationship. The data on the surviving disk will be left intact.

3. Continue

This option will hide the broken array and continue to boot to the operating system.

4. Rebuild

This option will rebuild a damaged array using a fresh disk, and duplicate the data from the surviving member of the original array to this fresh disk.

a) If this option is selected, the following window will be displayed:

Highlight the target disk and press ENTER to select it.

b) The BIOS will then start the rebuild/duplication process. See the image below:

The ESC can be used to cancel the procedure anytime during the rebuild/duplication process.

HighPoint

4.1 Introduction

The HighPoint Storage Management Software is comprised of two separate utilities: HighPoint Storage Management Console and HighPoint Storage Management Service

To simplify this guide, we will refer to the HighPoint Storage Management Console as the Management Console, and the HighPoint Storage Management Service as the Management Service.

Additionally, the system that hosts the Management Console may be referred to as the administrative system, and the system that hosts the Management Service may be referred to as the remote system.

The Management Console can be installed to any computer, and is used to monitor and control RAID configurations utilized by other computers (remote systems). From the Management Console, you can monitor one or more of these remote systems. The software can be used to create, monitor, delete, or modify various types of RAID arrays, including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10 (1/0), RAID 5, and JBOD.

The Management Service is designed to run continually on computers that utilize one or more HighPoint ATA RAID controller. It is designed to receive and carry out commands issued by the Management Console: logging events, executing scheduled tasks, and creating or rebuilding RAID arrays.

4.2 Installation

Follow these steps to install the Serial ATA RAID software:

1. Insert the HighPoint ATA RAID Management Software setup floppy diskette 1 into your floppy drive, and double click the setup.exe icon to start the installation procedure. When prompted, insert the remaining disks, and follow the instructions displayed by the setup program.
2. Confirm the follow-up dialogue windows to finish the installation.
3. When installation is complete, restart the computer. (Note: It is strongly recommended that you exit all windows programs before running this Setup program.)
4. You can install both the Management Console, and the Management Service, to a single computer, or install the Management Console to one computer, and the Management Service to another computer (or several others).

Clicking on a drive icon to display information about this disk - the right side of the screen will provide information about the physical disk, including the model, location, transfer mode and capacity. Clicking on an array icon will provide information about the selected array, including the name of the array, the RAID type or level, and capacity.

- Creating an Array

If the Create Array option has been enabled under the Privilege settings, and enough disks are available to create an array, click the Create button located on the toolbar. You can also click on the Operation tab, and select the Create option. This will open the Array Creation Wizard window.

Step 1:

Select the type of Array

Select the type of array you wish to create using the drop-down menu. If JBOD was selected, you can jump directly to Step 4.

If any other type of array is selected, enter an array name, and click the Next button. If you do not wish to name the array, leave the Array Name field blank, and click the Next button.

If RAID 0, 10, or 5 was selected, proceed to step 3.

Step 2:

RAID 1 Creation Option:

If RAID 1 was selected, select from the following array options (see the image below):

1) Create Only

This option will create a RAID 1 array between the selected disks, but will not preserve any of the data. The data on both disks will be lost.

2) Create and Duplicate

This option will create a RAID 1 array between the selected disks, and will copy the data from the Source disk, to the Mirror (also referred to as the target) disk. All data that was originally stored on the Mirror disk will be deleted.

Step 3:

Specify the Block Size

When creating a RAID 0 or 10 array, select the Block Size from the drop-down menu, and click on the Next button. See the image below:

When creating a RAID 5 array, select the Block Size from the drop-down menu, and the appropriate Creation Option. See the following page:

1) Zero Build

Create and initialize data blocks with zero build parities - this will create the array and initialize parity, but will delete all data from each of the hard disks. Use this option when starting from scratch.

2) Scrub (build parity)

This will create an array and initialize parity using the existing data on the hard disks.

3) No Build

Create only - the parity function will not become active until the array is first used.

Step 4:

Select the array disks

Select the single disks from the Available Disks list, and add them to the Selected Disks list using the ( → ) button.

If you are creating a RAID 1 array, and have selected the Create and Duplicate option, the disk which you select first will be the Source disk, and the disk you select second will be the Mirror disk. Please make sure the size of Source disk bigger than Mirror disk. If the size of Source disk bigger than Mirror disk, the following window will appear.

Press OK to select Mirror disk again.

If you are creating a RAID 1 array, and have selected the Create Only option, the source disk will be automatically selected for you.

After selecting the required disks, click on the Finish button to create the array.

Enter a new name for the selected array, then click on the OK button. Click on the Cancel button to cancel this operation. Note: You can not rename arrays that are in the process of being duplicated, initialized, rebuilt or verified.

Chapter 5

Trouble Shooting

Please refer to this chapter if you encounter any problems while using the RocketRAID 1640. It provides answers to the most frequently asked questions, and solutions to some of the more common problems associated with the host adapter. HighPoint

1. The RocketRAID 1640 adapter is not recognized by the computer after inserting it into the PCI slot.

If the card is detected by the system the following screen will be displayed when the computer is starting up:  If the above screen does not appear, the adapter is not recognized by the system. Open the computer's chassis, and check for the following: 1) Whether or not the adapter has been securely installed into the PCI slot. 2) If necessary, try using another PCI slot. After securing the adapter, replace the computer case and power on the system.

2. The hard disk connected to adapter can not be detected out.

After the RocketRAID 1640 adapter is recognized by the system, the adapter's BIOS will start to scan for hard disk drives. If drives are detected, the following information will be displayed:  Please pay close attention to the information displayed by the BIOS - make sure all of the hard disks attached to the controller are recognized by the BIOS. If one or more of the hard disks are not recognized, open the computer's chassis and check for the following: 1) Make sure the power cable for the hard drive is securely attached. If necessary, try using another power cable. 2) Make sure the cable is securely attached to the hard disk. If necessary, try using another cable. After checked the above, please place the cover of computer chassis and power on the computer.

3. Hard disk mode is not correctly recognized.

In order to boot from disk or disk array connected to adapter, usually you should do the following: 1. Set SCSI device as the first-booting device in main board BIOS; 2. Set a booting device in RocketRAID 1640 adapter BIOS (refer Chapter 3 on how to set a boot device). Note: If the regular IDE hard disks are chosen, by using the RocketHead 100 converter connect to RocketRAID 1640, please make sure the hard disks jumper must correctly set to the master position.

4. What should I do if an array is reported as broken?

If an array is reported a broken, shutdown the system and make sure the power and IDE cables are securely attached to the hard disks. If necessary, change the cables, then power on the system. If the problem was related to a connection issue, this may restore the array. If the method described above does not work, the broken array was likely caused by a hard disk error, or malfunction. For RAID 1, 10, or 5 arrays, a new hard disk can be used to rebuild the broken array - data will not be lost. For RAID 0 or JBOD arrays, the array must be deleted, and recreated - all data on the array will be lost. Please make sure to backup all important data stored on RAID 0 or JBOD arrays.

Appendix A Glossary

Array

Also known as Disk Array, two or more hard disks combined together to appear as a single device to the host computer.

RAID

Redundant Array of Independent Disks, it is a method of combining several hard disks (physical disks) into one logical unit (logical disk), thus providing higher performance and data redundancy.

RAID Levels

RAID levels refer to different array architectures (or methods of organizing a disk array). Different RAID levels represent different performance level, security level and cost.

Striping

Known as RAID 0, spread data over multiple disks to improve performance. It does not provide data protection.

Mirroring

Known as RAID 1, which provides data protection by real-time and automatic duplicating all data from a source disk to a mirror disk.

RAID 1/0

It is the combination of RAID 1 and RAID 0.

RAID 5

RAID 5 includes a rotating parity array, thus, all read and write operations can be overlapped. RAID 5 stores parity information but not redundant data. It requires at least three disks to provide the most economic way to maximize data capacity with faster transfer rate.

JBOD

JBOD is an acronym for Just a Bunch of Disks. It is used to refer to hard disks that aren't configured according to RAID a subsystem of disk drives that improves performance and fault tolerance. JBOD provides much more capacity (the sum of all the disks). If there is more than a single physical disk (not member of an array and not an ATAPI device or a removable disk), you can create a JBOD array.

Serial ATA

Serial ATA is an evolutionary replacement for the IDE ATA physical storage interface. Serial ATA is scalable and will allow future enhancements to the computing platform.

Broken Array

Disk array with a member disk failed. A broken RAID 1, RAID 5 or RAID 1/0 array can still function with the remained normal disks, but a broken RAID 0 or JBOD will no longer function.

Rebuild

The ability to use a new disk to replace the failed disk in a redundant disk array (say mirror array, 1/0 array or 5 array), then to repair the broken disk array and recover all the data on that failed disk.

Duplicate

The operation of duplicating user data to generate backup data within a RAID 1 array. Also known as Synchronize.

Spare Disk

A spare hard disk which can automatically be used to replace the failed member of a redundant disk array and then automatically recover the redundant disk array without intervention.

Spare Pool

Logically the place where spare disks stay. When a disk is added into the spare pool, it will become a spare disk.

Synchronize

Same as Duplicate.
