摘要： A serial SCSI (SAS) storage drive system includes a drive enclosure having a first interface card coupled to one storage controller over a single SAS path and a second interface card coupled to another storage controller over a different single SAS path. At least one disk drive within the enclosure is assigned to the first storage controller and interconnected to the storage controller through the first interface card. At least a second disk drive within the enclosure is assigned to the second storage controller and interconnected to the storage controller through the second interface card. The interface cards are selectively interconnected with each other through a crossover port. In the event of a failure in a storage controller or an interface card, the crossover port may be activated, thereby maintaining access to both sets of disk drives.

摘要： A data storage library includes a drive enclosure bay which can be adapted to work with multiple air-flow configuration requirements. This is accomplished by creating air-flow ports in the top and bottom of the drive enclosure bay, by forming drive tray slots and printed circuit board ports in associated drive trays, by creating frame ports and PCB notches in associated interface cards, and replacing traditional connectors with slimmer but longer connectors that provide additional standoff and improved air-flow.

摘要： Because cable length affects signal quality, amplifying signals differently to account for cable length (“tuning”) becomes especially important when high speed signals are used. Cable length information may be stored in a non-volatile memory which may be integrated into a cable assembly or may be a discrete component between the cable and an interface. Rather than using a dedicated data line to the memory component a ground line may be connected to the memory component and multiplexed. During normal operation the selected line is grounded through a switching device. When a cable is detected, a management controller changes the state of the switching device to decouple the selected line from ground to allow the management controller access to the data stored in the memory component, including cable length information. The selected line is then re-coupled to ground and interface circuits may be tuned for the cable length.
摘要翻译：由于电缆长度影响信号质量，因此当使用高速信号时，放大信号会因电缆长度（“调谐”）变得尤为重要。电缆长度信息可以存储在可以集成到电缆组件中的非易失性存储器中，或者可以是电缆和接口之间的分立组件。不是将专用数据线用于存储器组件，而是将接地线连接到存储器组件并进行多路复用。在正常工作期间，所选择的线路通过开关装置接地。当检测到电缆时，管理控制器改变开关装置的状态以将所选线路与地线分离，以允许管理控制器访问存储在存储器部件中的数据，包括电缆长度信息。然后将所选择的线重新耦合到地，并且可以针对电缆长度来调整接口电路。

摘要： One or more layers of constrained layer damping material is strategically placed within a data storage library having one or more sources of rotational vibration energy. Data storage devices, such as disk drives, are isolated from each other and from a drive tray by a first layer of constrained layer damping material. The drive trays are isolated from drive enclosure bays by a second layer of constrained layer damping material. A third layer of constrained layer damping material isolates each drive enclosure bay from the housing of the data storage library. The net effect is a significant reduction of the amount of rotational vibration energy arriving at each data storage device from other system components, such as a blower module. Additionally, the amount of rotational vibration energy arriving at each data storage device from other data storage devices is also reduced. By mounting the data storage devices to the drive trays in a single plane, the rigidity and mass of the drive tray is increased, reducing its susceptibility to external rotational vibration energy.
摘要翻译：策略性地将一层或多层约束层阻尼材料置于具有一个或多个旋转振动能源的数据存储库内。诸如磁盘驱动器的数据存储设备通过第一层约束层阻尼材料彼此隔离并且从驱动器托盘隔离。传动托盘通过第二层约束层阻尼材料与驱动器外壳隔离。第三层约束层阻尼材料将每个驱动器外壳与数据存储库的外壳隔离开。净效应是从诸如鼓风机模块的其他系统部件到达每个数据存储装置的旋转振动能量的显着减少。此外，也降低了从其他数据存储装置到达每个数据存储装置的旋转振动能量的量。通过将数据存储装置安装到单个平面中的驱动盘，驱动盘的刚性和质量增加，从而降低了其对外部旋转振动能量的敏感性。

摘要： A method is disclosed to install a component in an information storage and retrieval system. The method provides an information storage and retrieval system comprising a system processor and system data, and a component comprising persistent component data. The method attaches the component to the information storage and retrieval system while the information storage and retrieval system remains in normal operation, and determines, while the information storage and retrieval system remains in normal operation, if the component is compatible with the information storage and retrieval system. If the component is compatible with the information storage and retrieval system, the method then places the component into service while the information storage and retrieval system remains in normal operation.

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.
