A Layout Scheme for Duplicated RAID Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Failure of disks in RAID is a bottleneck in processing. Data replication of RAID array systems is proposed in this paper for data validity. For a k-times replicated data in a RAID system with n disk arrays, the scheme takes the mean time between failures of the disks in a RAID system, allocates the data of the k-replicas in the n-RAID arrays based on the remaining time to the next failure and the distance of the disk array from the original copy of the data. The heuristics adapted places data in remote disks during the initial time period after a recovery and migrates the data to nearer disks as time advances to the next failure. A mathematical model is developed for the proposed scheme. Simulations support the proposed model.

A Randomly Expandable Method for Data Layout of RAID Storage Systems
With the increase of huge amounts of data in volume, velocity, and variety, the need for capacity of Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks (RAID) storage systems is dramatically growing. However, the probability of disk failures in RAID storage systems is sharply high with the increase of program/erase cycles, read cycles, and retention time. Furthermore, they are faced with more challenges in ...
متن کاملConserving Energy in Conventional Disk based RAID Systems
Energy-efficiency is becoming increasingly important for storage systems to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO). In this paper, we propose an energy saving policy named eRAID for conventional disk based RAID-1 systems using redundancy. In particular, we develop a dynamic performance control scheme with the help of a performance predictor based on queueing network theory. Moreover, we discu...
متن کاملAdaptive Data Block Placement Based on Deterministic Zones (AdaptiveZ)
The deterministic block distribution method proposed for RAID systems (known as striping) has been a traditional solution for achieving high performance, increased capacity and redundancy all the while allowing the system to be managed as if it were a single device. However, this distribution method requires one to completely change the data layout when adding new storage subsystems, which is a...
متن کاملA Double-Objective Genetic Algorithm for Parity Declustering Optimization in Networked RAID
RAID, as a popular technology to improve the performance and reliability of storage system, has been used widely in computer industry. Recently, the technique of designing data layout in order to fit the requirements of networked storage is becoming a new challenge in this field. In this paper, we present a double-objective Genetic Algorithm for parity declustering optimization in networked RAI...
متن کاملDADA: Duplication Aware Disk Array
Primary storage systems contain only moderate degree of duplication and do not benefit greatly from deduplication. Instead of removing duplicates, we propose a duplication aware disk array (DADA), which keeps track of block duplication and uses the duplicate contents to improve the reliability and availability of disk arrays on primary storage systems. Problem: Duplicate contents on disk have r...
