Initiators
! Definition ! Initiators- Starts the SCSI
session, sends SCSI commands. Usually a client or server
! Target- Waits for commands sent from the initiator, then provides the I/O transfers. Usually a storage sub system
![Page 10: Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But … · Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But Were Too Proud To Ask) ... When you think you should know storage terms but,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021517/5b57a60d7f8b9a88698b4c50/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Digging Deeper
! Initiator selects SCSI target and Sends Command Descriptor Blocks (CDB)-SCSI Commands
! If CDB contains READ command, the target retrieves data from disk and responds.
! If CDB contains WRITE command, the target prepares buffers and returns indication of ready. Initiator receives ready command, data is written. ! When complete, SCSI responds as successful or unsuccessful. 12

RAID
! Definition ! ”Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks”* ! Ability to read and write to multiple disks as a single entity,
increasing performance and reliability over a single, large expensive disk
*Patterson, Gibson & Katz 1988 http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~garth/RAIDpaper/Patterson88.pdf
![Page 15: Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But … · Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But Were Too Proud To Ask) ... When you think you should know storage terms but,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021517/5b57a60d7f8b9a88698b4c50/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
RAID History
! Performance: increase the # of targets for write IO, decreasing queuing and latency; normally does nothing for reads, since data only written to a single disk, but see RAID-0
! Reliability: Add in redundancy to provide superior error checking
! Cost: do so with cheap disks
![Page 16: Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But … · Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But Were Too Proud To Ask) ... When you think you should know storage terms but,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021517/5b57a60d7f8b9a88698b4c50/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Types of RAID
! RAID still in use today, even (especially?) in Flash era ! Can be done in hardware or software
! Various types of RAID ! Each has an associated number; RAID-n ! Most common are RAID-5, and RAID-6 (or RAID-DP) ! Then there’s Erasure Coding (EC)…
! RAID levels standardized by SNIA: http://www.snia.org/tech_activities/standards/curr_standards/ddf
![Page 17: Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But … · Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But Were Too Proud To Ask) ... When you think you should know storage terms but,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021517/5b57a60d7f8b9a88698b4c50/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Some RAID Levels
! RAID is k data and p parity (k,p) ! RAID-0 (k,0)
! Alternating writes to two or more devices ! No data protection
! For others, parity is an important concept ! RAID-5 (k,1)
! Block-level striping with distributed parity ! Parity is XOR across drives, tolerates 1 drive
failure

Some RAID Levels
! RAID-1 (1,1) ! Mirroring ! Like RAID-5 with 1 data 1 parity; except
parity is an exact copy ! RAID-6 (k,2)
! Two parities calculated, tolerates 2 drive failures
! Combos possible ! Eg RAID-10 is RAID-1 and RAID-0
! Lots of wrinkles; performance, capacity and data protection are all compromises

RAID and Erasure Coding (EC)
! RAID is specialized case of Erasure Coding (EC) ! You may have heard of Galois fields, Reed-Solomon encodings,
Tornado or turbo codes; various related techniques for doing EC ! Math is based on polynomials ! Can be expensive to calculate, but powerful for distribution of data
& protection; strips & stripes data ! EC is k “data” and p “parity” (k,p)
! Any k out of the k+p disks are sufficient to recover ! Or, put another way, we can lose p disks ! RAID-5 is (k,1), RAID-6 is (k,2) ! EC (13,5) allows 5 disks to be lost out of 18
! EC generally used in object stores, and for geographically or node based dispersed storage
! RAIN – Redundant Array of Inexpensive Nodes ! RAID & EC is now about data protection
! Performance a given (& networks now the bottleneck) ! Still required for Flash (if not more so) Credit: http://nisl.wayne.edu/Papers/Tech/dsn-2009.pdf

What is a “Controller”?
! Definition ! SNIA (1): The control logic in a disk or tape that performs command
decoding and execution, host data transfer, serialization and deserialization of data, error detection and correction, and overall management of device operations
! SNIA (2): A disk array whose control software executes in a disk subsystem controller
! SNIA (3): An integrated collection of (a.) storage controllers and/or host bus adapters, (b.) storage devices, CD-ROM drives, tape drives, and libraries, and (c.) any required control software, that provides storage services to one or more computers

![Page 22: Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But … · Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But Were Too Proud To Ask) ... When you think you should know storage terms but,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021517/5b57a60d7f8b9a88698b4c50/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Types of Controllers
! Controller is a confusing historical term. Often used synonymous with adapter. Used as a “last” name - as in - video controller, network controller, keyboard controller, USB controller, storage controller, RAID controller.
22
![Page 23: Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But … · Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But Were Too Proud To Ask) ... When you think you should know storage terms but,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021517/5b57a60d7f8b9a88698b4c50/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Okay, so what’s a storage controller?
! But we’re not talking about those kinds of controllers. ! Storage Controllers or Array Controllers are devices that
connect between a Host and a large number of physical devices.
! They virtualize the physical devices, while providing advanced storage features
23
![Page 24: Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But … · Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But Were Too Proud To Ask) ... When you think you should know storage terms but,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021517/5b57a60d7f8b9a88698b4c50/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Storage Controller Features
! May include things like: ! Management ! RAID, High Availability/Fault Tolerance,
! Multipathing (aka SCSI: ALUA)
! Backups (snapshots/clones), ! Thin Provisioning, Compression, de-duplication, ! Long distance replication (disaster recovery).
! Controllers manage trade-offs between capabilities, performance, and scale
25
![Page 26: Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But … · Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But Were Too Proud To Ask) ... When you think you should know storage terms but,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021517/5b57a60d7f8b9a88698b4c50/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Where Do Controllers Fit?
! They contain front end ports that listen to hosts ! These are the target ports we just heard
about ! They contain back end ports that talk to
devices ! These are the initiator ports we just heard
about ! Controlling negotiations
! Have processors (CPUs) and an OS (of some kind, usually proprietary) that manages the requests from the frontend and turns them into requests to the backend
26
Frontend ports
Backend ports

All About the Context
! Context is important – is it the whole array (controller + storage) or is it just the controller or is it the adapter card stuck into a PCI slot?
! Storage Array (usually the whole thing) ! Array Controller (usually the controller in the array) ! Storage Controller (usually the controller in the array – or
a simple PCI adapter card)

not so loud!
![Page 29: Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But … · Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But Were Too Proud To Ask) ... When you think you should know storage terms but,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021517/5b57a60d7f8b9a88698b4c50/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Logical Volume Managers
! Definition (SNIA) ! A body of software that provides common control and management
for one or more disk arrays or tape arrays. ! Presents the arrays of disks or tapes it controls to its operating
environment as one or more virtual disks or tapes. It may execute in a disk controller or intelligent host bus adapter, or in a host computer. When it executes in a disk controller or adapter, it is often referred to as firmware.
! Definition (Whatis.com) ! A volume manager is software within an operating system (OS) that
controls capacity allocation for storage arrays. Most operating systems provide an option for managing volumes.
![Page 30: Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But … · Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But Were Too Proud To Ask) ... When you think you should know storage terms but,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021517/5b57a60d7f8b9a88698b4c50/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Brief History
! Devices had small capacity (apps wanted large) ! Applications didn’t want to break up their data ! Volume managers made small disks into large disks ! Applications wanted extra resiliency ! Volume managers added RAID to existing devices ! But now, they are everywhere
![Page 31: Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But … · Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But Were Too Proud To Ask) ... When you think you should know storage terms but,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021517/5b57a60d7f8b9a88698b4c50/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
So what does it do?
! In its most basic form, a Volume Manager virtualizes storage to the application.
Three small disks are made to look like one large one
![Page 32: Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But … · Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But Were Too Proud To Ask) ... When you think you should know storage terms but,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021517/5b57a60d7f8b9a88698b4c50/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
So what does it do?
! In its most basic form, a Volume Manager virtualizes storage to the application.
One large disk is made to look like three small ones – such as 3 VMs sharing the same disk
![Page 33: Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But … · Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage (But Were Too Proud To Ask) ... When you think you should know storage terms but,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021517/5b57a60d7f8b9a88698b4c50/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
