Fast Recovery speeds up rebuild processes


Rapid disk rebuilds

Fast Recovery can rebuild a RAID group

five to six times faster than typical rebuild

techniques.

When compared to the conventional rebuild

function using spare disks only, Fast

Recovery can complete the process for a 1

TB disk in just 90 minutes instead of nine

hours

Fast Recovery enables enterprises to use

low-cost SATA disks for their productive

applications

12

No more time-consuming rebuilds


Fast Recovery: Rapid rebuild of failed disks

The challenge: bigger disks

Hard disks with up to 6 TB

Several days rebuild time of a failed disk within in a RAID of a productive system

The probability of critical RAID situations and finally data loss is constantly growing

Fast Recovery is a high reliability feature

Rebuild takes place in reserved areas of the RAID group disks

Simultaneous writes on many targets

ETERNUS DX utilizes these free capacities simultaneously for the recovery

“0” data area is allocated by rewriting entire virtual volume

Reclaim physical area of “0”data” and change to unallocated area

Virtual volume Thin provisioning pool Thin provisioning Pool

Cannot be used as free spaces when a server writes data

Becomes unused areas. Use efficiency of pool is improved.

Check “0” data areas in virtual volume

Effective use of unused area of virtual volumes Reclaim “0” data area allocated at the time of environmental setting changes as unallocated area

This is effective after initialization of OS/file system or data migration from logical volume because entire virtual logical volume (Thin Provisioning Volume) is written at that time.

This is available even while the target volume is being accessed

- Initialize OS, file system - Migrate data from logical volume - Restore each volume, etc.

Data Migration with No Load on a Server

Reduce operation down time for data migration

Switch the port for server connection to that for data migration, and connect between storage systems No need to purchase devices and software dedicated to data migration. No need to change the settings of source device Compared to through the server, direct data transfer between storage systems reduces the time to migrate data Compare the data before and after migration to confirm that they are the same
