RAID Storage Units
AvidNet uses RAID storage units to store media Þles. Ciprico and
MegaDrive storage units are described in the following sections.
Ciprico
The Ciprico 7000 is a RAID level 3, high-availability storage device.
The medium over which it transfers data to and from the host is Þber-
optics. The protocol it uses is Fibre Channel. Fibre Channel is a new
ANSI standard designed speciÞcally to provide high-speed data
transfers using several network topologies.
The Ciprico array and the Prisa
¨
dual-channel HIO64 adapter board
together provide RAID storage to AvidÕs MediaServer. The Prisa
adapter board provides the Fibre Channel interface for the Ciprico
array units. Ciprico array units contain nine 9-GB drives. Eight 3.5-
inch drives are used to store data, and one drive is a parity drive that
can be used to reconstruct data if a drive fails. Ciprico arrays are rack-
mounted into Avid racks using Ciprico rail kits.
Use the information in PrisaÕs NetFX Fibre Channel Adapters UserÕs
Guide to install the Prisa Fibre Channel adapter. The Ciprico 7000 array
is described in the Ciprico Disk Array 7000 Disk Array Guide.
ConÞgure the adapter using CipricoÕs driver and utility software
called ÒSpectra.Ó Spectra is included on a distribution tape and
described in CipricoÕs Spectra Disk Array Installation Guide.
