Instruction Manual

SAT3540ER RAID Storage Policies

Before you use the SAT3540ER Manager to conﬁgure the Storage

Appliance, take a minute to study the following terms. The terms

represent SAT3540ER conﬁguration options or storage policies for

mapping the physical to the virtual drives. You’ll choose from these

policies during the conﬁguration process.Your choice is important and

impacts how you can best use the SAT3540ER Storage Appliance.

JBOD

A storage policy that grants the host PC direct access to

a physical disk drive. With JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks),

the number of available drives is equal to the number of

physical drives. JBOD is also called the bypass mode

because the host bypasses the SteelVine virtualization

engine to access the disk directly.

Safe

A storage policy conﬁguration in which all data is stored

in duplicate on separate disks to protect against data loss

due to disk failure (also called Mirroring). At least two

drives mirror each other at all times, equivalent to RAID

1. Every write operation goes to both disks. Safe mode

provides the highest level of data protection, but halves

the amount of storage space since all data must be stored

twice.

To implement the Safe storage policy, the Basic

Conﬁguration Wizard creates a volume which consists of

two hard disk drives that mirror each other. A remaining

hard disk drive can be speciﬁed as a Hot Spare in the

Advanced Menu.

Big

A storage policy conﬁguration in which multiple physical

drives are strung together (concatenated, also called

Spanning) and treated as one large volume. Big provides

the maximum amount of storage space but no additional

performance or data redundancy. This conﬁguration allows

you to increase logical volume size beyond the capacity of

individual drives.

The Basic Conﬁguration Wizard implements the Big

storage policy by concatenating all the hard disk drives

into a single volume.

Instruction Manual

Fast

A storage policy conﬁguration in which I/O processing

is balanced evenly to all disks in a method known as

striping, equivalent to RAID 0.

Fast offers the best performance in terms of speed, but

no data redundancy. Striping increases storage operation

speed by using several disk drives in parallel. Each

portion of data is divided into segments that are written to

different disks simultaneously. Striping provides improved

performance but does not enhance reliability because

there is no way to retrieve or reconstruct data stored on a

failed drive.

To implement the Fast storage policy, the Basic

Conﬁguration Wizard creates a single volume of up to four

hard disk drives in a striped format.

Safe + Big

A storage policy conﬁguration in which one-half of the

available storage space is concatenated. The other half

mirrors the ﬁrst half to provide full data redundancy.

The Safe + Big storage policy conﬁguration mirrors the

concatenated disks to create a volume consisting of four

disk drives.

Safe + Fast

A volume conﬁguration in which an array of stripes is

created. Each stripe consists of two mirrored drives. Safe

+ Fast provides the I/O load balancing features of striping

and the added reliability of mirrored data, equivalent to

RAID 1+0.

In the Safe + Fast storage policy, data is written to

mirrored disks in a striped format to create a volume

consisting of four disk drives.

Hardware Installation

In order to run the SAT3540ER Manager, you must ﬁrst install the Silicon

Image PCIE card and its associated driver. The card provides a software

and hardware link between the PC that functions as the host computer

and the SAT3540ER Storage Appliance.

Install the PCIE Card and Driver

Prior to physically installing the PCI Express card in the host computer,

please install the necessary Driver software. To do so:

Insert the Driver CD in the CD/DVD-ROM drive. Browse to the folder1.

titled X:\Driver\Auto-install for Windows XP & Vista (where X desig-

nates the location of the CD/DVD-ROM drive.

Double-click on the ﬁle titled2. SiI3531-W-D_15171. Follow the Installa-

tion Wizard to complete the installation.

Turn off the PC. Remove the host computer case cover, and install the3.

PCI Express card in an available PCI Express slot. Replace the host

computer case cover and power the computer back on.

Connect the SAT3540ER to the Host Computer

The SAT3540ER Storage Appliance houses four conﬁgurable hard

drives. After installing the PCI Express card and drivers, connect the host

computer to the SAT3540ER Storage Appliance using an eSATA cable

(included). To install drives within SAT3540ER:

Locate and press the release button and pull out the drive tray.1.
