Fast Recovery speeds up rebuild processes
Copyright 2015 FUJITSU
Rapid disk rebuilds
Fast Recovery can rebuild a RAID group
five to six times faster than typical rebuild
techniques.
When compared to the conventional rebuild
function using spare disks only, Fast
Recovery can complete the process for a 1
TB disk in just 90 minutes instead of nine
hours
Fast Recovery enables enterprises to use
low-cost SATA disks for their productive
applications
12
No more time-consuming rebuilds
Copyright 2015 FUJITSU
Fast Recovery: Rapid rebuild of failed disks
The challenge: bigger disks
Hard disks with up to 6 TB
Several days rebuild time of a failed disk within in a RAID of a productive system
The probability of critical RAID situations and finally data loss is constantly growing
Fast Recovery is a high reliability feature
Rebuild takes place in reserved areas of the RAID group disks
Simultaneous writes on many targets
ETERNUS DX utilizes these free capacities simultaneously for the recovery

“0” data area is allocated by rewriting entire virtual volume
Reclaim physical area of “0”data” and change to unallocated area
Virtual volume Thin provisioning pool Thin provisioning Pool
Cannot be used as free spaces when a server writes data
Becomes unused areas. Use efficiency of pool is improved.
Check “0” data areas in virtual volume
Effective use of unused area of virtual volumes Reclaim “0” data area allocated at the time of environmental setting changes as unallocated area
This is effective after initialization of OS/file system or data migration from logical volume because entire virtual logical volume (Thin Provisioning Volume) is written at that time.
This is available even while the target volume is being accessed
- Initialize OS, file system - Migrate data from logical volume - Restore each volume, etc.

Data Migration with No Load on a Server
Reduce operation down time for data migration
Switch the port for server connection to that for data migration, and connect between storage systems No need to purchase devices and software dedicated to data migration. No need to change the settings of source device Compared to through the server, direct data transfer between storage systems reduces the time to migrate data Compare the data before and after migration to confirm that they are the same
