Memory Notes

The RAID controller's write cache is backed up with a battery backup unit able to retain the write cache for 72 hours in the event of a power failure.

Stable write and commit operations are not acknowledged until after the RAID storage system has acknowledged that the related data stored at least in non-volatile RAM. When the RAID controller's battery backup unit is off-line, the system turns off the write cache and writes directly to disk before acknowledging any write operations.

The OS was installed on a single disk of the first SAS controller. Afterwards the disk manager of the OS was used to build a RAID 1 from the OS disk and a single disk of the second SAS controller. See above for the tuning params.
