RAID sets.
5.4.1 RAID denitions
RAID 0
(Data striping)
in parallel, interleaved stacks. Two hard disks perform the same work as a single
drive but at a sustained data transfer rate, double that of a single disk alone, thus
improving data access and storage. Use of two new identical hard disk drives is
required for this setup.
RAID 1
(Data mirroring)
copies and maintains an identical image of data from one
drive to a second drive. If one drive fails, the disk array management software directs
all applications to the surviving drive as it contains a complete copy of the data in
tolerance to the entire system. Use two new drives or use an existing drive and a
existing drive.
RAID 0+1 is data striping and data mirroring combined without parity (redundancy
drives or use an existing drive and three new drives for this setup.
RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more hard disk drives.
for transaction processing, relational database applications, enterprise resource
planning, and other business systems. Use a minimum of three identical hard disk
drives for this setup.
JBOD
(Spanning)
stands for Just a Bunch of Disks and refers to hard disk drives
redundantly on multiple disks that appear as a single disk on the operating system.
Spanning does not deliver any advantage over using separate disks independently
If you want to boot the system from a hard disk drive included in a created RAID
before you install an operating system to the selected hard disk drive. Refer to
section 5.5 Creating a RAID driver disk for details.
