摘要： A system for a host-based RAID solution in a shared storage environment is provided in which the compute blades of a system are coupled to one or multiple concentrators. The concentrators serve as a switch or expander to couple each of the compute blades to a shared storage resource. Within the shared storage resource, a set drives is configured in a RAID array. The shared disk drives are partitioned so that each partition is dedicated one of the compute blades of the system. Multiple sets of drives may be used so that the collective set of drives can be configured as part of a RAID volume that includes mirroring between at least two of the drive of the RAID volume, such as RAID 1 or RAID 0+1, in which each set of drives is a mirror of the other set of drives and the content associated with each of the compute blades is striped across multiple of the drives in each of the two sets of drives.

摘要： A system and method for recovering from a drive failure in a storage array is disclosed in which a spare drive array is provided in the event of a failure in one of the active drives of the storage array. The spare drive array is comprised of multiple drives that are comprised in a RAID 0 configuration to reduce the time required to rebuild the content of the failed drive on the spare drive.
