摘要： A method is disclosed to selectively provide power to a component disposed in an information storage and retrieval system. Applicants' method supplies a controller comprising a control portion in combination with a plurality of components comprising one or more host adapters, one or more device adapter ports, and a Fibre Channel switch. The method monitors the performance of each of those components. The method discontinues the supply of power to first component while continuing to provide power to the remaining plurality of components. The method then resumes providing power to the first component while continuing the supply of power to the remaining plurality of components.

摘要： A method to provide an operation to an information storage device is disclosed. The method supplies an information storage device and a protocol conversion device capable of receiving an operation in a first communication protocol comprising a variable attribute, and providing that operation to the information storage device in a second communication protocol, where that second communication protocol does not support the variable attribute. The method provides an operation to the protocol conversion device using said first communication protocol, and determines if the variable attribute is configured in that operation. If the method determines that the variable attribute is not configured in the operation, then the method provides the operation to the information storage device using the second communication protocol. If the method determines that the variable attribute is configured in the operation, then the method implements that variable attribute when providing the operation to the information storage device using the second communication protocol.
摘要翻译：公开了向信息存储装置提供操作的方法。该方法提供能够接收包括可变属性的第一通信协议中的操作的信息存储设备和协议转换设备，并且在第二通信协议中向第二通信协议提供该信息存储设备的操作，其中第二通信协议不支持变量属性。该方法使用所述第一通信协议向协议转换设备提供操作，并且确定在该操作中是否配置了变量属性。如果该方法确定在该操作中未配置变量属性，则该方法使用第二通信协议向该信息存储设备提供该操作。如果该方法确定在该操作中配置了变量属性，则该方法在使用第二通信协议向该信息存储设备提供该操作时实现该变量属性。

摘要： A method is disclosed to preserve data integrity during loss of power to an information storage and retrieval system. Applicants' method converts a plurality of sectors having a first sector format to a plurality of sectors having a second sector format. If a power failure warning is received during the sector format conversion process, the method prefetches the next second sector, overlays the next first sector onto part of all of that prefetched second sector, and saves the newly-written second sector before loss of utility power. After restoration of utility power to the information storage and retrieval system, Applicants' method writes that newly-written second sector to an information storage medium.

摘要： An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for concurrently relocating a RAID array. The apparatus includes an identification module, a designation module, and an implementation module. The identification module identifies an availability of a physical device within a donor arrayed storage device to offload a source drive of a relocation enclosure. The designation module designates an available physical device as a target drive and thereby designate the target drive and the source drive as a linked pair;. The implementation module implements a mirroring relationship between the target drive and the source drive. The apparatus, system, and method provide a dynamic relocation of the raid array, minimizing system downtime and maximizing efficient utilization of system resources.

摘要： Circuit boards capable of receiving different sets of electrical devices are fabricated from raw boards of the same type by forming respective networks of electrically conductive traces with a common layout on the raw boards, including open circuits within the networks. Electrical device receivers and controllers are then loaded on the boards, and some of the open circuits are closed such that some of the boards have different patterns of closed circuits and thereby different interconnections. Some of the receivers can accommodate two different types of electrical devices, with some of the boards configured to support one type and the others another type. The loading of receivers and controllers, and the closing of open circuits, can be performed simultaneously with the placement of zero ohm resistors used for circuit closings. Numerous different circuit board configurations can thus be supported from a common supply of raw boards.

摘要： Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture, wherein a request is received for switching a logical volume from one state to another state, wherein the logical volume is in a mirrored state if data corresponding to the logical volume is mirrored from a first storage to a second storage, and wherein the logical volume is in a non-mirrored state if the data corresponding to the logical volume is not mirrored from the first storage to the second storage. A determination is made as to whether to perform the switching, in response to receiving the request.

摘要： A self-contained backup power source such as a battery is provided for components within an electrically powered device such as a storage controller, photocopier or the like, to maintain diagnostic status data and to power a service indicator aid, or diagnostic indicator, such as an LED. A switch selects the backup power source when a primary power source of the electrically powered device is no longer available to the component, such as when the component is removed from the electrically powered device, the primary power source is disconnected as a safety precaution when servicing or replacing the component, or a higher-level assembly, in which the component is provided, is removed from the electrically powered device. The diagnostic indicator may be powered separately from the data storage device.

摘要： A system and method for early detection and reporting of an impending NAND Flash device plane failure. Each time that a data unit is retrieved from a NAND Flash array the number of bits in error and the memory location associated with the errors is observed. if the number of bits in error or the error rate for a memory location exceeds a threshold of the number of bits in error per data, retrieval, or number of bits in error per data unit per unit time, a NAND Flash plane failure Patrol Read operation is performed at the memory location, regardless of where in the cycle the Patrol Read function is in a scrub of the overall NAND Flash device. The NAND Flash plane failure Patrol Read is repeated for a number of cycles on the NAND Flash plane in question.
