LIO Admin Manual

When the array and all drive members to be used for the array extension have been identified, and only

then, perform the online capacity expansion or RAID level migration:

# arcconf MODIFY <controller#> FROM <DRIVE#> TO MAX <raid-level> <channel#>

<port#> \ [<channel#> <port#> …]

3.5.2 LSI

Display the logical drive information on a RAID controller:

# MegaCli –LDInfo–L[<enclosure#:slot#>, …] -a<controller#>

List the available disk drive slots and pair down the information a bit:

# MegaCli –PDList –a<controller#> | egrep ‘Adapter|Enclosure|Slot|Inquiry’

Identify the slot numbers of the drive(s):

# MegaCli –PDLocate –PhysDrv[<enclosure#:slot#>, …] -a<controller#>

will help to identify the drive in the chassis by blinking the corresponding activity LED.

When the array and all drive members to be used for the array extension have been identified, and only

then, perform the online capacity expansion or RAID level migration:

# MegaCli –LDRecon -Start -r<raid-level>[Add|Rmv PhysDrv[<enclosure#:slot#,

…]] -L<drive#> –a<controller#>

For instance, perform an online capacity expansion or RAID level migration with the physical drive(s) in

enclosure 0, slot 4 on logical drive 1 in RAID controller 0 as setup above:

# MegaCli –LDRecon -Start -r5[Add PhysDrv[0:4]] -L1 –a0

3.6 Failure Management

A soft error doesn’t necessarily indicate a hard drive failure. For instance, after years of operation, some

drives may occasionally not respond fast enough, so the RAID controller flags them as failed, despite the

fact that they are still fully operational. In such cases, a rescan of the SCSI bus may re-add drives back to

the array without the need of any drive replacements.

However, soft errors are a frequent characteristic of aging devices, and in many cases are indicative of

subsequent hard drive failures, so Datera highly recommends replacing drives that exhibit soft errors.

In any event, failed drives must promptly be replaced with a spare drive. Depending on the underlying

RAID level, a degraded RAID set might not be fault tolerant during RAID reconstruction (e.g., RAID5).

3.6.1 Adaptec

Rescan the SCSI bus:

# arcconf RESCAN <controller#>

A drive failure condition can be identified as follows:

# arcconf GETCONFIG 1 PD | egrep "Device #|State\>|Reported Location|Reported

Channel|S.M.A.R.T. Warnings"

After the failed drive has been replaced with a standby, add a new dedicated hot spare drive:

# arcconf SETSTATE <controller#> DEVICE <channel#> <port#> HSP LOGICALDRIVE

<drive#>

LIO Admin Manual

3.6.2 LSI

A drive failure condition can be identified as follows:

|Error|Failure|Event’

After the failed drive has been replaced with a standby, add a new dedicated hot spare drive:

# MegaCli –PDHSP –Set [–Dedicated –Array<drive-group#> –PhysDrv[<enclosure#:slot#,

…] -a<controller#>

For instance, add a new hot spare in enclosure 0, drive 6 to drive group 0 on controller 0:

# MegaCli –PDHSP –Set –Dedicated –Array0 –PhysDrv[0:6] –a0

3.7 Best Practices

3.7.1 RAID Construction Considerations

Datera recommends against configuring SSDs in RAID10 sets, as that involves a significant loss of

available net storage capacity (which is rather expensive with SSDs) and endurance, without much

performance gain. In practice, the performance gain (IOPS) of SSD RAID10 configurations is typically less

than 15%, at the expense of a loss of 50% of net storage capacity.

Instead, Datera recommends using RAID5 with hot spare drives for SSD based volume groups. The

performance loss of RAID5 vs. RAID10 in terms of latency and IOPS is typically less than 15%, and

considering the much higher performance levels of SSDs doesn’t really matter in practice.

For SSD speed and endurance, Datera recommends using a stripe size of either 64kB or 128kB,

depending on the SSD size, in conjunction with RAID5.

As a further optimization, Datera recommends keeping the SSDs net storage capacity below the 80%

utilization mark, which results in in more robust long-term performance, especially in comparison with

RAID10 with less disk space.

For HDD arrays with an emphasis on high-performance and fault tolerance, RAID10 typically provides

the best tradeoffs between performance, reliability and price in a single-shelf environment. Depending

on the block size of filesystem, Datera recommends using a stripe size that equals 8x to 16x of the

defined block size.

Example: For a block size of 4KiB with an ext4 filesystem, Datera recommends a stripe size of 32kB to

64kB as “guidance.” If the filesystem typically uses larger files, larger stripe sizes will result in higher

sustained performance. This is because the block pre-allocation on the drive can be done in larger

chunks, and therefore reduce the amount of head seeks operations necessary to be performed on the

HDDs.

4 LVM Setup

4.1 Overview

For ease of configuration and modularity, while maintaining scalability, Datera recommends using the

Logical Volume Manager (LVM).

4.2 Initializing Disks or Disk Partitions

Before using a drive or a drive partition as a physical volume, it must be properly initialized:

# pvcreate <device>

Warning: Not initializing the LVM device with pvcreate can cause subtle integrity errors on

the backstores that later result in system instabilities and crashes.

For instance, fast initialization of RAID devices from the LSI RAID BIOS creates seemingly

valid RAID devices that can cause system crashes during operation under load.

In order to use a whole drive as the physical volume, specify a raw disk device for <device>, e.g.,

“/dev/sdb.” This creates a volume group descriptor at the beginning of the drive “/dev/sdb.”

On the other hand, to use a logical partition on a disk device, specify the corresponding primary or

extended partition for <device>, e.g., “/dev/sdb1.” This creates a volume group descriptor at the

beginning of the logical partition “/dev/sdb1.”

Note: LVM works fine with whole disk physical volumes, but other OSs may not recognize

the LVM metadata, and display the drive as free and possibly overwrite it.

4.3 Creating Volume Groups

To create a volume group, the following command is used:

# vgcreate <vg_name > <device>

4.4 Creating Logical Volumes

To create a logical volume within a volume group, the following command can be used:

# lvcreate -L <size> --name <lv_name> <vg_name>

4.5 Deleting Logical Volumes

Warning: Deleting a logical volume cannot be reverted. All data on this logical volume will

be lost. Please make sure to unmount the logical volume before deleting it.

# umount <mount_point>

# lvremove -f <vg_name>/<lv_name>

4.6 Resizing Logical Volumes

If a logical volume needs to be resized, it is recommended to logout any attached initiators from this

device, as an initiator relogin is necessary to provide the new block device specifications.

# lvresize -L+1G <vg_name>/<lv_name>
