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： Methods are provided for detecting and correcting dropped writes in a storage system. Data and a checksum are written to a storage device, such as a RAID array. The state of the data is classified as being in a “new data, unconfirmed” state. The state of written data is periodically checked, such as with a timer. If the data is in the “new data, unconfirmed” state, it is checked for a dropped write. If a dropped write has occurred, the state of the data is changed to a “single dropped write confirmed” state and the dropped write error is preferably corrected. If no dropped write is detected, the state is, changed to a “confirmed good” state. If the data was updated through a read-modified-write prior to being checked for a dropped write event, its state is changed to an “unquantifiable” state.

摘要： A method is disclosed to set the speed of a network. The method supplies a network interconnected with a system controller and a plurality of switch domains, where each of those plurality of switch domains comprises one or more information storage devices and a switch domain controller, and sets by each of the plurality of switch domains a signaling rate for that switch domain. The method queries in-band by the system controller each of the plurality of switch domains for that switch domain's signaling rate, and provides in-band by each of the plurality of switch domains the signaling rate for that switch domain. The method provides in-band by the system controller to each of the plurality of switch domains a first speed selection command specifying a first network speed, and resets by each of the plurality of switch domains the signaling rate for that switch domain to the first network speed.

摘要： A method for media operational queue management in disk storage systems evaluates a plurality of pending storage operations requiring a destage storage operation. A first set of the plurality of pending storage operations is organized in a first array queue grouping (AQG). The AQG is structured such that all of the storage operations are completed within a predefined latency period. A computer-implemented method manages a plurality of pending storage operations in a disk storage system. A pending operation queue is examined to determine a plurality of read and write operations for a first array. A first set of the plurality of read and write operations is grouped into a first array queue grouping (AQG). The first set of the plurality of read and write operations is sent to a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) controller adapter for processing.

摘要： A method is disclosed to reconfigure a storage array. The method supplies a data storage and retrieval system comprising (N) data storage device assemblies, wherein each of those (N) data storage device assemblies comprises (M) data storage devices, wherein (N) is greater than or equal to 2, and wherein (M) is greater than or equal to 2. The method configures those (N) data storage device assemblies to comprise a spare data storage device assembly and a first storage array comprising the remaining (N−1) data storage device assemblies. In the event Applicants' method detects a failed data storage device disposed in the first storage array, then the method forms a second storage array comprising the first storage array, except the failed data storage device, in combination with a data storage device disposed in the spare data storage device assembly.

摘要： Data storage systems and methods and computer program product for managing data storage systems are provided. The system includes at least first and second storage enclosures, each having a plurality of hard disks configured as first and second arrays of disks and an intra-enclosure path between the first and second arrays. The intra-enclosure path is disabled during normal operation of the storage system. Inter-enclosure paths respectively link the first arrays in the first and second storage enclosures and the second arrays in the first and second storage enclosures and are enabled during normal operation of the storage system. The system also includes a controller having a first path to the first array in the first enclosure and a second path to the second array in the first enclosure whereby, during normal operation of the system, the first arrays in the first and second enclosures are configured as a first storage loop and the second arrays in the first and second enclosures are configured as a second storage loop. The controller is configured to detect a failure in the first array of the first enclosure and to enable the intra-enclosure path between the first and second arrays in the second enclosure whereby the second storage loop is reconfigured to include the first array in the second enclosure.

摘要： A high density storage enclosure houses first and second pluralities of hard disk drives (HDDs). The enclosure may be partitioned into a plurality of virtual enclosures, the first plurality of HDDs being associated with a first virtual enclosure and the second plurality of HDDs being associated with a second virtual enclosure. Configuration of the storage enclosure is performed by an SES processor in the storage enclosure accessing configuration parameters received from an external configuration unit coupled to the storage enclosure. The virtual enclosures may be configured as two (or more) independent virtual enclosures on two (or more) independent fabrics or may be configured in a trunked manner. Power supplies and cooling blowers in the storage enclosure may also be partitioned and assigned to be managed by SES processors in the virtual enclosures.

摘要： A data processing unit including a first active cooling device configured to respond to a first control signal and a second active cooling device configured to respond to a second control signal. The control signals may be any type of control signal suitable to control the operation of the first and second active cooling devices. The data processing unit also includes a first control function selectively capable of providing the first control signal and/or the second control signal, and a second control function selectively capable of providing the first control signal and/or the second control signal. Logic associated with the first and second control functions is included to determine which of the control functions will provide which control signal at a specific time. Logic and/or switching or isolation apparatus is also included to prevent both the first and second control functions from attempting to provide one of the control signals simultaneously.
