Chapter 3 RAID Manager Installation and Configuration 3-7
Caution If write cache is turned on in dual/active mode you must also have it
mirrored. Failure to do so may result in data corruption if a controller fails.
3.2.5 Reconstruction Rate
Reconstruction rate depends on the "Reconstruction Rate setting" and the I/O
load on the module. Refer to Chapter 7 "Maintenance and Tuning" in the Sun
StorEdge RAID Manager Users Guide.
Under optimal conditions (system idle with no other I/Os to the A3x00), it takes
about two minutes to reconstruct a 1-GB (4+1) RAID 5 LUN under RAID Manager
6.22. If the LUN is active with host I/O request, it could take up to 10 minutes to
reconstruct 1 GB of storage.
Reconstruction can start only if certain requirements have been met. If a controller
has failed, no reconstruction will start until the controller is Optimal.
Only one reconstruction can be in progress at a time for a given controller.
The reconstruction rate can vary by 50%, depending on the model of disk drive in
the trays.
LUNs can only be reconstructed by the controllers that own them.
The following sequence of events indicates how the LUN status changes:
1. Initially, in a (4+1) RAID 5 configuration, LUN X is Optimal.
2. RAID Manager 6 detects a bad drive in LUN X.
3. The status of LUN X then changes to degraded.
If there is a GHS, LUN X status changes to reconstructing; otherwise, LUN X
remains in degrade.
Note The GHS must be of a size greater than or equal to the failed drive.
LUN X will remain in the reconstructing state until reconstruction with GHS has
been completed, even though the bad disk has been replaced.
After the reconstruction with GHS has been completed, LUN status switches to
Optimal. Copyback to the replaced drive starts when LUN status changes to
Optimal. New data will continue to be written to the GHS until the copyback
process is complete. Then the GHS returns to the GHS pool.
For recovery under RAID Manager 6.1.1, refer to Chapter 5 in the Sun StorEdge
RAID Manager 6.1.1 Users Guide for details.
For recovery under RAID Manager 6.22, refer to Chapter 6 in the Sun StorEdge
RAID Manager 6.22 Users Guide for details.
