Choosing Your RAID Controller
RAID 1+0 is the ONLY supported RAID configuration for AirWave.
NOTE: Software RAID and SATA drives are NOT SUPPORTED for any configuration of AirWave.
RAID Configuration Information
For RAID 1+0:
Dedicated Hardware RAID controller with caching and battery backup or non volatile (NV) cache.
l
RAID controller should be configured for Write-Back caching with battery backup (unless NVcache is selected,
l
then Force Write-Back without Battery backup is recommended).
Individual Drive Caching should be enabled.
l
Ensure that all disks are assigned and configured to a single volume.
l
NOTE: Improper RAID configuration can result in drastically reduced server performance.
200 Devices and Below
AirWave 100 and 200 models perform well on a single, fast (spindle speed) disk.
500 Devices
RAID 1+0configuration of four (4) or more 15K SAS drives in a single volume with dedicated Hardware RAID
controller with minimum 256MB of cache and battery backup.
1,000 Devices
RAID 1+0 configuration of four (4) or more 15K SAS drives in a single volume with dedicated Hardware RAID
controller with minimum 256MB of cache and battery backup.
1,750 Devices
RAID 1+0 configuration of six to eight (6-8) or more 15K SAS drives in a single volume with dedicated Hardware
RAID controller with minimum 512MB of cache and battery backup.
2,500 Devices
RAID 1+0 configuration of six to eight (6-8) or more 15K SAS drives in a single volume with dedicated Hardware
RAID controller with minimum 1GB of cache and battery backup.
5,000 Devices - Non-SSD Drives
RAID 1+0 configuration of sixteen (16) or more 15K SAS drives in a single volume with dedicated Hardware RAID
controller with minimum 1GB of cache and battery backup.
5,000 Devices - SSD Drives
AWMS 2,500 - 5,000 device installations with SSDs require Single Level Cell (SLC) Enterprise class SSD drives.
NOTE: Do not use Multi Level Cell (MLC) Consumer class drives. Use of MLC drives can result in drastically reduced SSD drive
lifespan and data loss/volume failure due to write exhaustion.
