2 Antoniu Pop 2 The University of Manchester COMP Storage Technologies - 2 Learning Objectives - Storage 2 Motivate RAID Understand the principles of RAID configurations Understand how RAID impacts performance and reliability Understand failure & recovery constraints

3 Antoniu Pop 3 The University of Manchester Technology Trends and Drivers s Mainframe/Server Disk Drives High capacity, large formats (e.g., 14 ) Expensive, low volume market Somewhat slow evolution PCs used mostly floppy disks (Early) 1990s Still two markets: Server & PC drives Most PCs use hard disks PC hard disk sales explode high volume market Drives costs lower Drives disk technology faster How to use PC disks to build server-class storage?

4 ntoniu Pop 4 The University of Manchester COMP Storage Technologies - 2 RAID Redundant Array of Independent Disks Compensate for loss of reliability, capacity, performance Use lots of cheap(er), (disposable?) disks

5 Antoniu Pop 5 The University of Manchester COMP Storage Technologies - 2 Disk Problems and Solutions (recap) Disks are too small Fixed: use multiple disks (possibly striped) Disks are too slow Fixed: disk striping (RAID 0) Disks are unreliable Fixed: disk mirroring (RAID 1) Data redundancy

13 Antoniu Pop 13 The University of Manchester COMP Storage Technologies - 2 Nested RAID Each raid configuration comes with tradeoffs Combine RAID configurations to alleviate shortcomings Multiple RAID layers

RAID 10) RAID 0 RAID 1 RAID 1 A4 A4 Disk 0 Disk 1 Disk 2 Disk 3 Number of disks m [RAID 1] n [RAID 0] 2 2 = 4 Read (short... long) 1... n Write (short... long) 1... n Failure tolerance m 1 disks 1 disks Capacity efficiency n/(m n) = 1/m 1/2 = 50%

19 Antoniu Pop 19 The University of Manchester RAID Failure Mode Operation What happens when a disk fails? RAID 0 Lose all data (hope there s more than one RAID layer) RAID 1 Business as usual, hot-swap the failed disk RAID 2-6 Operate in degraded mode If data drive failed, every read must be reconstructed If parity drive failed, low performance impact Replace drive (hot-swapping: the system continues running) Rebuild the array (re-constitute the state of the lost drive)

20 Antoniu Pop 20 The University of Manchester RAID Recovery Limitations Rebuilding a degraded array Sequentially How long? On live system? Risk of failure during recovery Statistical distortion: higher risk of multiple failures within a narrow time frame RAID 5 risk advisory notice: Do not use for business-critical data! [Dell]

21 Antoniu Pop 21 The University of Manchester COMP Storage Technologies - 2 Where to Implement RAID? Software Operating System Most OS now provide software RAID E.g. Linux md (multiple devices) supports RAID 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 plus nestings Software File System E.g., ZFS Dedicated hardware (RAID controller)

22 Antoniu Pop 22 The University of Manchester COMP Storage Technologies - 2 Array Failure Rates (full data loss) Failure rate of a disk drive: r (with some assumptions!) RAID 0 1 (1 r) n RAID 1 r n RAID 2 It s complicated RAID (1 r) n RAID 6 1 (1 r) n ( ) n r 1 1 (1 r) n 1 ( ) n r 1 (1 r) n 1 1 ( ) n r 2 (1 r) n 2 2 Example drive 1%/year failure rate with RAID 6 (3+2 drives): =

23 Antoniu Pop 23 The University of Manchester Hamming Codes Ap1 Ap2 Ap3 RAID 2 no longer used, but... Hamming code error correction ECC

24 Antoniu Pop 24 The University of Manchester Parity Old idea: first tape drive (1951) had a parity track Transverse redundancy check How does it really work?
