ARAIDoE Storage Appliance includes RAID controller
functionality within the chassis to allow one or
more RAID sets to be accessed as "logical" AoE
devices called "logical blades" or "lblades". (ie.
lblade 1.1 shown here is a RAID5 made up of 5
disks in slots 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, and accessed as
one large block storage device, such as
/dev/etherd/e1.1) |  |
| • |
A simple console port command line
interface is provided on the Storage Appliance to
configure the RAID setup.
| |

Multiple RAID sets can be created
within one storage shelf. Combinations of
different RAID set types are allowed, including
RAID0 (stripe), RAID1 (mirror), RAID10 (stripe of
mirrors), and RAID5 (stripe with parity).
| |
| • |
RAID sets can be expanded with a
grow command. This allows RAID sets to be
concatenated (when the first RAID set is full,
data is stored on the concatenated member RAID
set).
