RAIDSafety Instructions

Before starting, take a few minutes to read this manual. Read all of these instructions and save this

manual for later reference.

Protect the disk array system from extremely high or low temperatures. Maintain an ambient

temperature of 5C to 40C (40F to 104F) and an ambient non-condensing relative humidity of

10% to 85%.

Let the disk array system warm (or cool) to room temperature before using it.

Protect the disk array system from being bumped or dropped.

Do not place the disk array system on an unstable cart, stand, or table. It may fall, causing serious

damage to the product.

Keep the disk array system away from large magnetic elds, such as those generated by a high

voltage power cables and motors, etc.

Do not use the disk array system near water.

Keep the disk array system away from dust, sand, or dirt.

Gaps and openings in the cabinet and the back are provided for ventilation. Never block or cover

these openings, because the disk array system may overheat and become unreliable. Ensure the

disk array has 15 cm (6-inches) of space around the disk array system for proper ventilation

Dont place the disk array system on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.

Do not place the disk array system near or over a radiator or heat source.

Refer to the rating plate for the correct voltage and ensure that the appliance voltage corresponds to

the supply voltage.

The appliance must be earthed.

If an extension cord or a power center is used with the disk array system, make sure that the total

current consumption of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the ampere rating.

Do not place the disk array system where the cord will be stepped on.

Never push any kind of object into the disk array system through cabinet gaps and openings, since

they may touch dangerous voltage points and cause a risk of re or electric shock.

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.

Keep the disk array system dry. Do not use liquid cleaners, aerosol cleaners, or a wet cloth. Use a

damp cloth for cleaning.

Except as specically explained in this User Manual, do not attempt to service the disk array system

by yourself. Opening or removing the covers may expose you to dangerous voltages.

Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualied service personnel under the

following conditions.

If the disk array system has been exposed to water or any liquid.

If the disk array system has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.

Placement Notes

The disk array system LCD panel can be damaged by exposure to direct sunlight.

Only allow subdued or indirect sunlight to shine on the disk array system.

The disk array system should be used only in clean environments that are free

from airborne contaminants such as dust, dirt, and smoke. Excessive moisture oroil particles in the air can also hinder disk array system performance.

RAID

To reduce the possibility of data errors caused by electromagnetic interference,

locate the disk array system at least ve feet away from electrical appliances and

equipment that generates magnetic elds.

Power Supply Safety Notes

To avoid electric shocks, do not use an extended power cord or an outlet that does

not match the disk array system plug or leaves the plug exposed.

If the power cord or plug is damaged or worn, unplug it immediately and contact aqualied service technician for maintenance.

To avoid re or electric shocks, do not overload electric power outlets.

The appliance must be earthed.

RAID

IntroductionThe disk array system uses groups of disks to provide exibility when balancing data availability,

access rate, and capacity management needs.

High data availability is achieved by using the fault tolerance features of RAID (Redundant Array

of Inexpensive Disks); hot spare disks with automatic on-line rebuild; hot swap disks, and power

supplies; independent SATA disk controllers; and dual host controllers.A high data access rate is achieved by combining the individual data rates of SATA disks in a RAID

conguration. SATA disks lack some of the features of SCSI disks but are just as fast when used

with a high performance RAID controller. In the disk array system, RAID is controlled by a high

performance CPU, which transfers data through dual host interfaces at the maximum possible rate.

Flexible data capacity management is achieved with on-line RAID expansion, RAID capacity division

into slices, and multiple logical RAIDs. Management is performed through front panel, RS- 232, host,

or Web browser interfaces.

This chapter includes an overview of RAID concepts, a summary of disk array system features, a

packing list, and an overview of disk array system components.

Features Operating system independent

Up to four JBOD, RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 0+1, 3+0, or 5+0 disk groups

On-line expansion

Allows division of disk groups into slices, each mapped to a LUN

Hot spare disk and automatic on-line rebuild

Up to 8 hot swap SATA disks

Two hot swap power supplies if one fails, the other takes over without interruption

Two fans with intelligent speed and temperature management

Eight 100 MB/s SATA channels Fast 64-bit RISC CPU based RAID controller with up to 512MB of cache in

a SO-DIMM

Dual Ultra SCSI host interfaces

Audible alarm, disk tray LED, and LCD panel failure indicators

Conguration via the front panel or RS-232 interface (VT100 terminal)

JBOD versus RAIDJust a Bunch Of Disks (JBOD) consists of two or more disks that can be different sizes. Disk 1 is

completely lled, then disk 2, disk 3, and so on until the nal disk is full.

The total capacity of JBOD is the sum of the capacities of the disks. Disks are added until the

desired total capacity is reached.

JBOD is used in the following situations.

Building useful capacity from disks that are too small to be individually useful

Making capacity management easier, since the user only sees one logical disk

JBOD doesnt improve data availability or access rate when compared with a single disk.

RAID

RAID LevelsThe overall arrangement of disks in RAID is called the RAID level. Read this section to understand

RAID levels.

In RAID 0, data is divided into pieces and written to all disks in parallel. This process is called

striping because the pieces of data form a stripe across multiple disks. This improves the access

rate, but makes availability lower, since there are more disks and failure of a single disk causes

failure of the array. A RAID 0 array is unsuitable for data that can not easily be reproduced, or for

data that must be available for critical system operation.

RAID 0 consists of two or more disks of equal capacity. The total capacity of RAID 0 is the sum of

the capacities of the disks. Disks are added until the desired total capacity is reached.

In RAID 1, data is duplicated on two or more disks to provide high access rate and very high data

availability. This process is called mirroring. If a disk fails, the RAID controller directs all requests to

the surviving members.

In RAID 5, data is divided into pieces; the parity of these pieces is calculated; and the pieces and

parity are written to separate disks in parallel. The parity is written to a different disk each time.

Parity provides redundant information about the data on other disks. If a single disk fails, then the

data on the other disks is used to regenerate the data on the failed disk. Striping delivers a highaccess rate and parity delivers good data availability.

RAID 5 consists of two or more disks used for data and one additional disk used for fault tolerence.

The total capacity of RAID 5 is the sum of the capacities of the data disks. Add disks until the

desired capacity is reached, then add one more disk for fault tolerance.

Hot Spare DisksA hot spare disk is a standby disk that is not used for data storage unless a RAID member fails.

If a disk failure occurs, the failed RAID member is replaced by the hot spare disk without user

intervention. This improves data availability, since the RAID is able tolerate more disk failures with a

hot spare disk.

Connecting Multiple RAIDS

Multiple RAIDS can be connected on the SCSI bus. Dedicated Micros recommend that no more than

four RAIDS are connected. The total cabling between the RAIDs and the DVR must total less than 3

meters (10 feet) including the internal 30cm (1 feet) cabling in each RAID.

RAID

Unpacking and installing the disksThe disk caddies are sent in a separate box to the main RAID unit, with each disk caddy labelled

1 to 8 for the R8 RAID.

Tip: If you are rack mounting the RAID, it is advisable that the RAID is rack mounted before

tting the disk caddies, refer to Appendix A Rack Mounting the Raid.

The RAID comes pre-congured for use with DM DVRs, congured as follows:

SCSI ID 0 and 1

RAID level 5

If you have no other storage attached, then there should be no need to change the ID number.

However, if there are other external devices connected to the system, the SCSI ID may need to be

adjusted if the address is the same as another device. The corresponding SCSI addresses to drive

letters ID0 is drive letter L, up to ID6, which is drive letter R. The SCSI ID can be changed on the

front panel of the RAID if required, refer to the RAID User Reference Manual.

Note: DM DVR only recognizes SCSI ID0 through to ID6.

There is a limitation of the total cabling between the RAIDs and the DVR, which must total less than

3 meters (10 feet) including the internal 30cm (1 feet) cabling in the RAID.

1. Unlock the disk tray with an included disk tray key.

2. Gently pull the disk tray handle to the opened position.

3. Remove the disk tray.

4. Insert the disk into the disk tray and x into place with screws supplied with the disk.

5. Slide the disk tray back into the empty slot.

6. Slowly push the disk tray handle closed.

7. Lock the disk tray with the key.

8. Repeat the procedure until all of the supplied drives are installed.

Connecting the RAID1. Connect the serial cable to the COM port at the rear of the unit.

2. Plug one power cable into each of the two power sockets at the rear of the unit

Note: The system is equipped with auto switching power supplies that can run between 100 and

240 VAC. If only one power socket is used, the unit will register one of the units as not

powered and deliver a power failure warning.

3. Switch the unit on using the main power switch (5).

Installing Extended Search Period on the DVRThe RAID performs advanced self tests on power up to ensure optimum reliability. It is necessary to

increase the initial SCSI detection period of the DVR to support this.

CD installation of the extended SCSI search

1. The increased detection period is supported by DVR Firmware releases 4.5 (009)

and above. Ensure that that a suitable rmware build is installed on the DVR.

2. Insert the disk marked Extended SCSI Search Support into the DVD drive ofthe DVR and then reset the DVR. The appropriate setup le will be automatically

loaded and DVR restarted.

Note : For connection to DV-IP and in installations where a mix of RAID and RAIDS products are

attached to a single DVR then use the instructions in the Manual installation of extended

SCSI Search section.

Manual installation of extended SCSI SearchFor DV-IP and in installations where a mix of RAID and RAIDS units are installed, it is necessary to

manually install the Extended Search setup le.

1. Insert the CD marked Extended SCSI Search Support into the CD drive of a PC

and locate the SCSI_timout le in the \M2IP\raid folder of the CD2. If a mix of RAID and RAIDS products are to be supported on a single DVR, open

the scsi_timout le in a suitable text editor. The following text should be seen:

scsi_timeout=210

scsi_devices=1

Edit the text to the following:

scsi_timeout=210

scsi_devices=2

3. Save the le to a local drive.

4. Open a FTP package and connect to the DVR (username=dmftp, password-ftp)

5. Copy the scsi_timeout le from the CD (or locally saved version) to the application

drive, normally I:\, root directory.

6. Restart the DVR

This search will complete when either the timed period has expired or the RAID has been detected.

Once the power-up sequence is complete, the RAID will be detected, and the following message is

displayed:

Note: The IMPORT IMAGES option is only available if the RAID has been used before and

contains images, these images can be imported into the system. Once REUSE DRIVE is

selected the following message is displayed:

Once ERASE AND CREATE NEW is selected the following message is displayed:

After a short while, the PLAY LED on the DVR will start ashing to indica te that the RAID is being

formatted for use with the DVR. This process will take around 30 minutes. It is very important that

the DVR or RAID are not switched off during this time.

OperationThe operation of the DVR is no different, whether a RAID is used or not, it adds to the internal

storage seamlessly, increasing the storage available.

Recording to the RAID on a DVIPDVIP does not detect the external RAIDs automatically, to congure the DVIP you must edit the

vidcfg.ini le on the DVIPs hard disk.

To edit the fle:

1. Open an FTP package and connect to the DVIP (username: dmftp, password: ftp).

2. The vidcfg.ini le is in the directory c:\etc

3. Copy the le on to your loca l hard disk

4. Open the le with text editing software such as notepad.exe, the le will contain

text similar to that shown below:

MaintenanceReplacing a Disk

A disk failure is indicated when the Power/Error LED at the front of the drive tray turns red and the

audible alert sounds.

Note: Turn off the audible alert by pressing the Up and Down function buttons on the front paneltwice simultaneously.

The LCD panel displays the failure with the symbol R or W. R indicates a disk failure or error,

and W indicates that there are too many bad sectors on the disk.

111222WR

Disks 1 to 3 are members of array group 1.

Disks 4 to 6 are members of array group 2. Disk 7 has too many bad sectors.

Disk 8 has an error or a fault.

Disks are hot swappable, which means that they can be inserted and removed while the disk array

system is powered on and operating.

To replace a failed disk;

1. Unlock the front panel door, then pull it open.

2. Pull the tray handle away from the disk tray to release it and pull the disk tray out.

3. Remove the screws from the failed disk, then remove the disk from the disk tray.

4. Align the rear of the new disk with the rear of the disk tray.

5. Insert the new disk into the disk tray.

Note: The new disk must have the same or a greater capacity than the faulty disk that was

removed. If the disk capacity is smaller, the audible alert sounds and the auto-rebuild

operation will not start. For best performance, it is recommended that the new disk be

identical to the failed disk.

6. Attach the disk to the disk tray with the screws that came with the disk.

7. Slide the disk tray back into the empty slot, then close the disk tray handle.

8. Push the front panel door closed, and lock it.

Replacing a Power Supply

The disk array system is equipped with a Power Supply Fail Indicator LED at the front of the unit thatturns red when one of the power supplies fails. The message Power x failure also appears on the

LCD panel, where x refers to power supply 1, or 2, and an audible alert sounds.

Note: Turn off the audible alert by pressing the Up and Down function buttons on the front panel

twice simultaneously.

Power supplies are hot swappable, which means that they can be inserted and removed while the

disk array is powered on and operating.

To replace a failed power supply;

1. Identify the failed power supply. (When looking at the rear of the machine, power

supply 1 is on the left, power supply 2 is on the right).

2. Remove the power cable from the power supply connector at the rear of the unit.3. Loosen the power supply retaining screw (The screw with the knurled spacer).

4. Check the retaining catch screw is loose enough to allow the catch to be operated.

Appendix B - Rack Mounting the RAID

Ensure the following items are included in the RAID box.

Slider rails

Dcor screws

Metric knob screws

Imperial knob screws

Rack locking screws

Bracket locking screws

Brackets

The Slider Rail consists of three sections which sit inside each other. Extend the innermost section

on the Slider Rails until the end of the lever is exposed. Slide this lever up and pull the innermost

section out of the Rail.

Once the lever has been pulled up, the 1st rail can be slid out with very little effort. Separate the rst

rail from the rest as below:

Attach the inner slider rails to the both sides of the RAID as shown below.

Note: Ensure the black plastic lever is in the correct position as shown.

The brackets should now be attached to the rack, using the 2nd and 3rd slider rails.

Flip the slider over and move the second slider until you can see the xing holes on the thirdrd slider

below it.

Thread a screw through a hole on the slider and through the slot on the bracket, two screws are

required per bracket. Flip the slider back over and it a washer and bolt over the screw thread, do not

fully tighten at this point. The brackets should be able to slide together as in the picture below.

Adjust the width of the brackets to t your rack, and x to the rack using screws as below.

Ensure the brackets are in the same position on each side of the rack and tighten the bracket

screws fully.

RAID

Once the slider rails and brackets are in place, line up the rails on the side of the RAID with the

sliders in the RACK and slide the RAID into the rack. It should click into position.

Once the RAID is in place attach securely using the Metric or Imperial Knob screws on the

uppermost screw xings on the RAID.

The RAID is now mounted and xed in the rack. The disk caddies can now be tted.
