Chapter 11: Hierarchical RAID - HRAID

Abstract

HRAID is motivated by the storage bricks paradigm. Each Storage Node - SN has a controller implementing the intranode erasure code over SN's disks. HRAID uses a multilevel RAID paradigm with internode erasure coding. Disk failures can be handled by intra-node redundancy firstly and internode redundancy secondly. Internode coding can handle SN failures. Nodes may be provided with higher levels of redundancy RAID(4+k),k1Image greater than zero. Disk failures are handled by restriping at each node, i.e., overwriting check strips with data strips from the failed disk. A baseline array with no interdisk redundancy ...
