There are four categories of SCSI commands: N (non-data), W (writing data from
initiator to target), R (reading data), and B (bidirectional). There are about 60
different SCSI commands in total, with the most commonly used being:
• Test unit ready: Queries device to see if it is ready for data transfers (disk spin up,
media loaded, etc.).
• Inquiry: Returns basic device information.
• Request sense: Returns any error codes from the previous command
that returned an error status.
• Send diagnostic and Receive diagnostic results: runs a simple self-test,
or a specialised test defined in a diagnostic page.
• Start/Stop unit: Spins disks up and down, or loads/unloads media (CD, tape,
etc.).
FC frame structure
The major advantage of FCIP is that it overcomes the distance limitations of basic Fibre Channel. It also enables
geographically distributed devices to be linked by using the existing IP infrastructure, while it keeps the fabric
services intact.

Drives can be grouped to form RAID sets in a number of different ways — RAID
types — which are numbered from 0 to 6.
The numbers represent the level of RAID being used. RAID levels 0, 1, and 5 are
the most common methods of grouping drives into RAID sets because they give you
the best variation of redundancy and performance. Since RAID 6 uses two parity
drives, it’s a bit slower than the other RAID types, but is normally used when data
loss is out of the question.
Combinations of RAID types can be used together. For example, you can create
two RAID 0 sets and then combine the RAID 0 sets into a RAID 1 set. This will
essentially give you the performance benefits of RAID 0 with the availability benefits
of RAID 1.

Typy dużych macierzy – Modular Storage Arrays
The other type of storage arrays consist of the smaller boxes, called modular arrays.
Modular arrays cannot connect to mainframe computers. The ability to connect to
and store mainframe data is usually what sets modular and monolithic storage arrays
apart.
Some modular arrays have many of the same redundancy features that their big
monolithic brothers have, but modular arrays have limited cache memory and port
connectivity, so they can’t connect to as many servers as a monolithic array without
degraded performance.
Modular arrays, typically based on two controllers, are kept apart from the unit’s
disks. In essence, this ensures that, if one controller experiences a failure, the second
will take over from the first automatically. These are held on a shelf which runs
on a separate power source to the disks.
Modular arrays can still be used in large data centers, but they also work just as well
in smaller departments or remote offices.
One of the key advantages of modular systems is that it’s cheaper than monolithic
options. Therefore, they expanded over time. You may want to start with a single
controller and one housing disks. You can then add more than your needs dictate,
until you reach optimum capacity.
