Overview
Delivering unprecedented performance and reliability, the
scalable Comet Fibre 12 RAID subsystems integrate Caen's highly
acclaimed fibre-to-fibre RAID controllers with a wide range
of 12 hot-swappable, high performance, industry-standard FC-2G
drives in a single, uniquely designed, highly accessible storage
enclosure that is able to endure the extreme physical stresses
placed on storage subsystems today. Featuring two FC-2G host
channels the embedded FC-2G controller ensures superior performance,
extreme reliability and exceptional data availability in today's
most data-intensive storage environments. Two FC-2G host channels
guarantee high levels of data availability and security. Two
additional FC-2G expansion channels provide scalability options
enabling users to increase the overall capacity of the storage
network. Equipped with three fully redundant, hot-swappable
cooling fan modules and two fully redundant, hot-swappable
power supply units, the uniquely designed 19-inch rack mountable
enclosure has been customized to perform in the most rigorous
storage environments where data availability is an imperative.

Architecture
Running on architecture trusted by the most demanding applications,
the subsystem is capable of a high level of performance. Its 64-bit
separate-bus backbone is built around the dedicated XOR engines
running at twice the data bus speed. The calculation of parity and
distribution of data can be optimized with the free association
between individual logical arrays and different optimization modes.
Featuring a 64-bit 133 MHz memory bus, the unparalleled bandwidth
makes the subsystem's high data throughput more than sufficient
for small to mid-sized servers or workstations. Data can be distributed
at a burst rate up to 1066MB/sec. The dual independent PCI bus design
virtually eliminates all imminent bottlenecks on IO traffic, providing
sufficient throughput for a wide range of applications on fibre-based
PCs, single-user workstations, NT, Linux, or Unix-based servers.
These applications include disk-to-disk backup, Video on Demand,
CCTV, and stream editing.
Intelligent Drive Handling
Media Scan is an innovative Intelligent Drive Handling function
that can be used for data retrieval from degraded or damaged hard
drives. If two bad blocks occur on two member drives of an array,
the integrity of the stored data will be endangered. Intelligent
Drive Handling capabilities can be used to retrieve data from the
damaged sectors. Media Scan is able to handle low quality drives
in both the degraded mode and during the rebuild process. Other
Intelligent Drive Handling features, which provide further data
security, include the transparent resetting of hung hard drives,
power failure management and bad drive handling during LD expansion.

Auto-Switch cache policy and Auto-Shutdown
When a RAID controller detects conditions exceeding preset thresholds,
the following actions will be exerted to protect the hardware:
1. Automatically flush cached
data and switch the array's caching mode from write-back to write-through
2. Commence an auto shutdown
Environmental thresholds associated with the auto-shutdown feature
are user-configurable. Caching mode changes back to write-back once
normal condition is restored.
