RAID Concepts
RAID is the abbreviation of Redundant Array of Independent Disks. The basic idea of RAID is to combine
multiple drives together to form one large logical drive. This RAID drive provides greater performance,
capacity and reliability than a single drive. The operating system detects the RAID drive as a single storage
device.
RAID Levels
There are various RAID levels with different degrees of data protection, data availability, and performance. A
description of supported RAID levels follow:
Type
Description
Min. No. of Drives
RAID 0
Disk striping.
1
RAID 1
Disk mirroring over two disks.
2
N-way
mirror
Extension to RAID 1 level. It has N copies of the disk.
N
RAID 3
Striping with parity on the dedicated disk.
3
RAID 5
Striping with interspersed parity over the member disks.
3
RAID 6
2-dimensional parity protection over the member disks.
4
RAID 0+1
Mirroring of the member RAID 0 volumes.
4
RAID 10
Striping over the member RAID 1 volumes.
4
RAID 30
Striping over the member RAID 3 volumes.
6
RAID 50
Striping over the member RAID 5 volumes.
6
RAID 60
Striping over the member RAID 6 volumes.
8
JBOD
The abbreviation of Just a Bunch Of Disks . Independently
address a drive.

Volume Relationship
The following graphic is the volume structure which i3 International has designed. It describes the
relationship of RAID components.
One RG (RAID group) consists of a set of VDs (Virtual Disk) and owns one RAID level attribute. Each RG can
be divided into several VDs. The VDs in one RG share the same RAID level, but may have different volume
capacity. All VDs share the CV (Cache Volume) to execute the data transaction. LUN (Logical Unit Number) is
a unique identifier, in which users can access through SCSI commands.

iSCSI Concepts
iSCSI (Internet SCSI) is a protocol which encapsulates SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) commands
and data in TCP/IP packets for linking storage devices with servers over common IP infrastructures. iSCSI
provides high performance SANs over standard IP networks like LAN, WAN or the Internet.
IP SANs are true SANs (Storage Area Networks) which allow several servers to attach to an infinite number
of storage volumes by using iSCSI over TCP/IP networks. IP SANs can scale the storage capacity with any
type and brand of storage system. In addition, it can be used by any type of network (Ethernet, Fast Ethernet,
Gigabit Ethernet, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet) and combination of operating systems (Microsoft Windows, Linux,
Solaris, Mac, etc.) within the SAN network. IP-SANs also include mechanisms for security, data replication,
multi-path and high availability.
Storage protocol, such as iSCSI, has “two ends” in the connection. These ends are initiator and target. In
iSCSI, we call them iSCSI initiator and iSCSI target. The iSCSI initiator requests or initiates any iSCSI
communication. It requests all SCSI operations like read or write. An initiator is usually located on the host
side (either an iSCSI HBA or iSCSI SW initiator).
The target is the storage device itself or an appliance which controls and serves volumes or virtual volumes.
The target is the device which performs SCSI command or bridge to an attached storage device.
SAS Concepts
Serial-attached SCSI offers advantages
over older parallel technologies. The
cables are thinner, and the connectors are
less bulky. Serial data transfer allows the
use of longer cables than parallel data
transfer.
The target is the storage device itself or
an appliance which controls and serves
volumes or virtual volumes. The target is
the device which performs SCSI command
or bridge to an attached storage device.
