RAID 시스템의 모델링 및 시뮬레이션

Modeling and Simulation of a RAID System

In this paper, a RAID system is modeled and simulated by using the DEVS formalism. The RAID system interacts with a host system by using the high-speed Fibre channel protocol and stores data in an array of IDE disks. The DEVS formalism specifies discrete event systems in a hierarchical, modular manner. The RAID system model is composed of three units: primary-PCI unit, secondary-PCI unit and MCU unit. The primary-PCI unit interfaces with the host system and I/O data caches. The secondary-PCI unit includes disks. The MCU unit controls overall system. The control algorithm of MCU and PCI transactions are analyzed and modeled. From the analysis of simulation events, we can conclude that the proposed model satisfies given requirements.
