摘要： Components in a data storage subsystem are tracked, and their status monitored, with the use of memory devices such as RFID tags. In the practice of the invention, a component of a data storage subsystem, such as a data recording device, is associated with a memory device, such as but not limited to a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag, that is capable of storing information regarding the data storage component and configured to transmit such information upon interrogation by a reader device. The memory device is coupled to an indicator device that is configured to selectively indicate information about the data storage component.

摘要： Systems, methods and a computer program product are provided to permit the identification of all of the devices of a specified domain in a multi-domain environment. All communication among the domain devices is in-band having the advantage that no additional cabling is required. A control center between host devices and the domains receives an in-band command from an initiating device in a specified domain, the command being transmitted in response to the activation of a triggering device on the initiating device. Upon receipt of the command, the control center broadcasts an in-band command to each of the other devices in the domain directing the other devices to activate an indicator on each of the other devices. With the indicators on the devices in the specified domain activated, an administrator is able to identify those devices and thus focus his search for the faulty device only on those devices within the domain.

摘要： In a RAID storage system, a parity value is generated. The storage system includes a RAID adapter, a plurality of disk array processors managing corresponding sets of RAID storage drives, and a connecting fabric. The RAID adapter initiates a parity generation operation, parallel instructions are dispatched for the array processors to each generate a partial parity value from data blocks on drives on respective managed RAID storage drives, the partial parity value is received in the RAID adapter from each array processor, and the partial parity values are combined in the RAID adapter to generate a complete parity value. The parity value may be an actual parity block to be stored on a hard disk drive or may be a reconstructed data block in the event of a failed drive.

摘要： An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for automatically and transparently managing addresses in an arbitrated loop network. An arbitrated loop network switch is programmed with an address map and configured with the necessary modules to monitor an address assignment process and associate soft assigned addresses claimed during the address arbitration process with physical slot addresses. In one embodiment, the address fields of packets addressing a specific physical slot are changed (in route) to the soft address assigned during the address arbitration process. The entire process may be transparent to the rest of the network and to users. The present invention facilitates maintaining a physically ordered addressing scheme despite any soft addressing that occurs during loop initialization.

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.

摘要： An indicator light, such as an LED, for a computer disk drive module is controlled via an external controller. The disk drive module monitors a disk drive and determines a desired state of the LED, such as on, off or flashing, to indicate a status of the disk drive. The disk drive module provides a modulated signal carrying data that identifies the desired state on a path coupled to the indicator light and a terminal that is accessed by the external controller. The controller implements an algorithm for driving the indicator light, where the algorithm receives, as a first input, the desired state determined from the demodulated signal and, as a second input, information obtained from monitoring the disk drive module. The controller itself may obtain this information or receive it from a higher-level system controller.

摘要： A computer system uses a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) network to communicate with mass storage devices. The FC-AL network provides alternative communication paths to the mass storage devices. The FC-AL communication network includes a first (60) FC-AL controller within the FC-AL switch (50). A first FC-AL mass storage drive (56) has second (80) and third (82) FC-AL controllers. A first output of the first FC-AL controller is coupled to a first input of the second FC-AL controller, and a second output of the first FC-AL controller is coupled to a first input of the third FC-AL controller. A second FC-AL mass storage drive (94) has fourth (96) and fifth (98) FC-AL controllers. A first output of the second FC-AL controller is coupled to a first input of the fourth FC-AL controller, and a first output of the third FC-AL controller is coupled to a first input of the fifth FC-AL controller. The alternative communication paths to the mass storage devices reduces incident of disk drive access failure.

摘要： A high density storage enclosure includes a plurality of storage devices, such as hard disk drives, positioned within a cooling airflow. Data to be stored to a storage device is received and a determination is made as to the expected usage of the data relative to other data stored on devices within the enclosure. The data is stored in a device having a position within the airflow relative to the source of the airflow in direct relationship to the relative expected usage of the data. Thus, data having a higher expected usage is stored in a device closer to the airflow source relative to other data having a lower expected usage and data having a lower expected usage is stored in a device farther from the airflow source relative to other data having a higher expected usage. Additionally, data may be dynamically relocated based upon actual usage.
