connections. This multipathing capability also provides greater I/O throughput by
automatically balancing the I/O load uniformly across multiple I/O paths to each
disk device.
RAID Concepts
VERITAS Volume Manager and Solstice DiskSuite software support RAID
technology to optimize performance, availability, and user cost. RAID technology
improves performance, reduces recovery time in the event of file system errors, and
increases data availability even in the event of a disk failure. There are several levels
of RAID configurations that provide varying degrees of data availability with
corresponding trade-offs in performance and cost.
This section describes some of the most popular and useful of those configurations,
including:
■
Disk concatenation
■
Disk mirroring (RAID 1)
■
Disk striping (RAID 0)
■
Disk striping with parity (RAID 5)
■
Hot spares
Disk Concatenation
Disk concatenation is a method for increasing logical volume size beyond the
capacity of one disk drive by creating one large volume from two or more smaller
drives. This lets you create arbitrarily large partitions.
Using this method, the concatenated disks are filled with data sequentially, with the
second disk being written to when no space remains on the first, the third when no
room remains on the second, and so on.
