What exactly is your question? Servers do have harddisks for data storage. Each server has different numbers of slots and that's how many disks can be on that server. However, some servers are scalable--meaning slots can be added and mapped to the server. Also, if the harddisks are 16GB--you can swap them out for 36GB (dependent on the server's configuration limits). Databases map to these harddisks and that's where the data is stored. Ideally, disks are mirrored or DR (data replication) so if there is a disk failure, a production environment does not become unavailable. The mirror automatically becomes the primary. Fix the bad disk, then switch the paths back. No down time--no data loss. Without a mirror, you have to do a recovery--either as good as your last backup (if no database archive logs) or you can use the last backup and the archive logs to roll forward to that point. Bad thing is with doing a recovery--you do have production down time (at least for that particular object). And companies now equate down time in $$$$.

What is meant by scsi?
scsi stands for small computer system interface and is used for disk drives and other computer devices
What file is used for SCSI devices during bootup?
NTBOOTDD.sys
What is SCIS?
SCSI is a type of interface used for computer components such as hard drives, optical drives, scanners and tape drives. It is a competing technology to standard IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics). While the less expensive IDE technology is built into motherboards, SCSI is a technology that must be added by purchasing a SCSI controller. The SCSI card fits into an internal PCI slot. SCSI devices are then connected to this card.
What are SCSI types that allow for 16 devices including the adapter to be connected on a single shared cable?
Ultra wide SCSI. wide SCSI buses support 16 devices, rather than the eight devices specified in regular SCSI.
Which version of scsi introduced scam compliance?
SCSI 3
What is a typical application for SCSI devices?
Back in its days, SCSI was often used for high-performance hard disks for use with server-type computers. However, it must be noted that the days of SCSI are well and truly over, replaced by faster and less expensive interfaces such as SATA.
Which two SCSI connectors might be used with narrow SCSI?
DB25 SCSI connector50 pin SCSI connector
How many devices can be used on a single SCSI bus?
8 Devices can be used on a single SCSI bus.
SCSI bus can support up to how many devices simultaneously?
SCSI, Fast SCSI, Ultra SCSI, Ultra2 SCSI: 8 devices Wide SCSI, Fast Wide SCSI, Ultra Wide SCSI, Wide Ultra2 SCSI, Ultra3 SCSI, Ultra160 and 160+ and Ultra320 : 16 devices Of course, the number of devices supported depends not only on protocol limitations, but cable length, number of cables used, etc.
A SCSI port is?
SCSI, pronounced as scuzzy, stands for Small Computer System Interface. An SCSI port is used to attach peripheral devices that use the SCSI system , mainly for data transfer.
How do you connect one harddisk to another harddisk as i have 80 gb harddisk?
hard-disk
What is different between a server MB and a regular MB?
Primarily a server MB will offer SCSI connections VS. SATA this is to offer the higher IO capacity gained by using SCSI (15K RPM SCSI 180 IOPS VS. 7.2K RPM SATA SAS 80 IOPS). Other major factors today include Virtualization support, redundant components and generally a capacity for more HW. Not to mention better quality and a different CPU platform (Intel Xeon-Server, Intel ICore7-Desktop). Try not to get tricked by manufacturers that put a workstation MB in a server chassis and call it a server MB. Tell tail sign is what CPU it uses.
What is meant by scsi?
scsi stands for small computer system interface and is used for disk drives and other computer devices
What is scsi harddisk?
SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is a set of standards for physically connecting and transferring data between computers and peripheral devices. SCSI is most commonly used for hard disks and tape drives, but it can also be used to connect other devices, including scanners and CD drives. An SCSI drive is usually referred to a disk drive that uses the SCSI standard interface and commands to connect and transfer data to/from the computer.
Which version of scsi is known as fast scsi?
SCSI-2
What is a SCSI host adaptor?
A SCSI host adapter is a device used to connect one or more other SCSI devices to a computer bus. It is commonly called a SCSIcontroller, which is not strictly correct as any component understanding the SCSI protocol can be called a controller. It connects to the PCI Express.
What is a SCSI hard drive used for?
SCSI is most commonly used for hard disks and tape drives, but it can also be used to connect a wide range of other devices, including scanners and DC drives.
