Appendix B Worksheets Figures B-3 and B-4 are samples of Worksheets A and B for an HP NetRAID adapter with ten physical drives, three arrays, and three logical drives. It has a 50% rebuild rate. Physical Arrays and Hot Spares • Array 0 on Channel 0 contains three 9-GB physical drives (SCSI ID # 0, 1, 3). • Array 1 on Channel 1 contains two 4-GB physical drives (SCSI ID # 10 and 11). • Array 2 on Channel 2 contains four 4-GB physical drives (SCSI ID # 12, 13, 14, and 15). • A global hot spare is available in case a drive fails in any array. The physical drive has SCSI ID #8 on Channel 0. The 9-GB capacity of the global hot spare is greater than or equal to the physical capacity of the individual physical drives in all three arrays. Logical Drives • Logical Drive 0 is on Array 0 and does not span another array. It uses RAID level 5 with a capacity of 18 GB. (The capacity of one physical drive is used for parity.) Logical Drive 0 has a stripe size of 64 KB. Its write policy is Write Through, its read policy is Adaptive Read Ahead, and its cache policy is Cached. • Logical Drive 1 is on Array 1 and does not span another array. It uses RAID level 1 with a capacity of 4 GB. (Mirroring uses up half the physical capacity.) Logical Drive 0 has a stripe size of 16 KB. Its write policy is Write Through, its read policy is Adaptive Read Ahead, and its cache policy is Cached. • Logical Drive 2 is on Array 2 and does not span another array. It uses RAID level 5 with a capacity of 12 MB. (The capacity of one physical drive is used for parity.) Logical Drive 2 has a stripe size of 64 KB. Its write policy is Write Through, its read policy is Adaptive Read Ahead, and its cache policy is Cached. 122
