...1. What does RAID stand for? Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks 2. When would we use RAID? RAID allows you to survive a drive loss without data loss and in many cases without any downtime. RAID is also useful if you are having disk IO issues, where applications are waiting on the disk to perform tasks. Going with RAID will provide you additional throughput by allowing you to read and write data from multiple drives instead of a single drive. 3. Define the following types of RAID: RAID 0: Striped Set -- Setup splits data evenly across two or more disks. It is important to note that RAID 0 was not one of the original RAID levels, and is not redundant. If one drive goes down your server will need to be restored from backup. RAID 1: Mirrored Set -- Setup creates an exact copy (or mirror) of data on two or more disks. A typical setup just has two drives that are setup to mirror data. If one drive goes down your server will still be functional until a scheduled drive replacement can be installed. RAID 5: Striped Set with Parity -- Setup uses block-level striping with parity data distributed across all disks in the RAID Array. This means you can have one drive fail and your server will remain functional until a scheduled drive replacement can be installed. RAID 5 also increases read/write speeds while using the available disk space efficiently. RAID 6: Second parity stripe -- The purpose of doing all of the extra math to support this dual parity is that the...

...NT1230 Unit 2. Assignment 1 Disk Redundancy Research 1. What does RAID stand for? Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disk 2. When would we use RAID? When you have a vast amount of data to need to be backup or to improve speed of the system. 3. Define the following types of RAID: a. RAID 0: Splits data evenly across two or more disks (striped) without parity information for speed. RAID 0 was not one of the original RAID levels and provides no data redundancy. RAID 0 is normally used to increase performance, although it can also be used as a way to create a large logical disk out of two or more physical ones. b. RAID 1: An exact copy (or mirror) of a set of data on two disks. This is useful when read performance or reliability is more important than data storage capacity. Such an array can only be as big as the smallest member disk. c. RAID 5: Comprises block-level striping with distributed parity. Unlike in RAID 4, parity information is distributed among the drives. It requires that all drives but one be present to operate. Upon failure of a single drive, subsequent reads can be calculated from the distributed parity such that no data is lost. RAID 5 requires at least three disks. d. RAID 6: Extends RAID 5 by adding an additional parity block; thus it uses block-level striping with two parity blocks distributed across all member disks. 4. Why is RAID 0 of any use if it offers no redundancy? It splits data evenly across two or more disks (striped) without parity information...

...NT1230 Unit 2. Assignment 1. Disk Redundancy Research 1. What does RAID stand for? Redundant Array of Independent Disk 2. When would we use Raid? To divide and replicate data into physical drives. 3. Define the following types of RAID: a. RAID 0-is simply data striped over several disks. This gives a performance advantage, as it is possible to read parts of a file in parallel. However not only is there no data protection, it is actually less reliable than a single disk, as all the data is lost if a single disk in the array stripe fails. b. RAID 1-is data mirroring. Two copies of the data are held on two physical disks, and the data is always identical. RAID1 has a performance advantage, as reads can come from either disk, and is simple to implement. However, it is expensive, as twice as many disks are needed to store the data. c. RAID 5-data is written in blocks onto data disks, and parity is generated and rotated around the data disks. Good general performance, and reasonably cheap to implement. Used extensively for general data. d. RAID 6-is growing in popularity as it is seen as the best way to guarantee data integrity as it uses double parity. It was originally used in SUN V2X devices, where there are a lot of disks in a RAID array, and so a higher chance of multiple failures. RAID6 as implemented by SUN does not have a write overhead, as the data is always written out to a different block. 4. Why is RAID 0 of any use if it offers no redundancy? Fast performs and...

...Stephanie McFadden NT1230 Unit 8 Assignment 1 The Just Legal Company in Figmont, Nebraska has acquired a new internet address - www.justafigmont.com. They want to set up a DNS server. What would a basic DNS file look like? Describe the file. The DNS or (Domain Name System) names the number mappings on your computer. For example www.justfigmont.com could be the number 160.92.3.6. This is achieved through the DNS. The DNS is a hierarchy. There are a small number of root domain name servers that are responsible for tracking the top level domains and who are under them. The root domain servers between them know about all the people who have name servers that are authoritative for domains under the root. A basic DNS file may look like this: C:\>nslookup Default Server: vnsc-bak.sys.gtei.net Address: 4.2.2.2 > set type=mx > bellcs.com Server: vnsc-bak.sys.gtei.net Address: 4.2.2.2 Non-authoritative answer: bellcs.com MX preference = 0, mail exchanger = bellcs.com bellcs.com nameserver = ns2.server766.net bellcs.com nameserver = ns.server766.net bellcs.com internet address = 66.78.26.7 "Setting up a Basic DNS Server for a Domain."

...NT1230 1/1/16 Unit 2 Assignment 1 Disk Redundancy Research RAID stands for redundant array of independent disks and is a data storage virtualization technology that combines multiple physical drives into a single logical unit for the purpose of backing up vital data, improving system performance, or both. It’s most useful for businesses because they usually network terminals that all pull from a central server with everything stored on it. RAID is used to allow for a seamless replacement of defective drives or swapping full drives for empty ones without hassle of having to reboot. There are four types of raid that are going to be discussed and there is also a difference between hardware RAID and software RAID. Software RAID is just software that runs on your operating system, hardware RAID uses a modified chip as a controller and assists the software for operating systems that software RAID is incompatible with. RAID 0 consists of striping, without mirroring or parity. The capacity of a RAID 0 volume is the sum of the capacities of the disks in the set, the same as with a spanned volume. There is no added redundancy for handling disk failures, just as with a spanned volume. Thus, failure of one disk causes the loss of the entire volume, with reduced possibilities of data recovery when compared to a broken spanned volume. Striping distributes the contents of files roughly equally among all disks in the set, which makes concurrent read or write operations on the multiple disks...
