How to keep writing when a HDD fail in a RAID 1 system

TATSURO — Thu, 10 Aug 2023 11:15:22 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to build a RAID1 system with no downtime.

However, I found that when one HDD is removed from a RAID1 system with the default configuration built with two HDDs, there is a period of time when it cannot be written (downtime) for several tens of seconds.

I have looked in documentation and on the web to see if there is a setting where downtime does not occur, but I have not been able to find such an item.

How can I set it up so that downtime does not occur?

Hello TATSURO,

Thank you for posting on the Intel️® communities. We would be more than glad to help you.

Based on the information you've provided, it appears that the issue is related to the drive functionality rather than the Intel® RST. Nevertheless, we want to verify the following:

Do you have information about the exact time of the Downtime?
How are you checking if data is being written into the driver?
Are you rebuilding the RAID 1 using the Intel® RST Option ROM, or the Intel® RST driver?

Best regards,
