IBM Serveraid 6I+ Ultra320 SCSI RAID controller

This new IBM Serveraid 6I+ Ultra320 SCSI RAID controller adds hardware RAID to servers that use the Ultra320 SCSI interface. It includes 128 MB of cache memory and a battery backup unit to protect data during power loss. The card targets administrators who need to manage multiple SCSI drives in a single array.

Capacity and headroom

The 128 MB cache provides write-back acceleration for typical database and file-server workloads on Ultra320 drives. Battery-backed cache preserves pending writes if the server loses power unexpectedly. Performance scales with the number of attached drives and the RAID level chosen; very high transaction rates or large drive counts may exceed the controller's processing capability.

Questions about this item

Will the 128MB cache on the 39R8798 work with older Ultra320 SCSI drives I already own?

The 128MB cache on the 39R8798 is designed for Ultra320 SCSI operation and will function with compatible drives of that standard.

How can I confirm the battery on the 39R8798 is holding charge after installation?

The RAID controller BIOS or management utility will report battery status; a healthy reading confirms the cache backup is operational.
