摘要： A method and system for enabling dynamic matching of storage utilization characteristics of a host system application with the characteristics of the available storage pools of an attached distributed storage system, in order to provide an optimal match between the application and selected storage pool. An abstraction manager is provided, enhanced with a storage device configuration utility/module, which performs a series of tasks to (1) obtain/collect the correct configuration information from each connected storage device or storage pools and/or (2) calculate the configuration information when the information is not readily available. The storage device configuration module then normalizes, collates and matches the configuration information to the various applications running on the host system and/or outputs the information to a user/administrator of the host system via a software interface. By using the collected/calculated configuration information, applications are assigned to an optimal storage pool in an intelligent and efficient manner.

摘要： An apparatus for improving the reliability of host data stored on Fiber Channel attached storage subsystems by performing end-to-end data integrity checks. When a read or write operation is initiated, an initial checksum for data in the read/write operation is generated and associated with the data, wherein the association exists through a plurality of layers of software and attached storage subsystems. The initial checksum is passed with the data in the read/write path. When a layer of software in the read/write path receives the initial checksum and data, the layer performs an integrity check of the data, which includes generating another checksum and comparing it to the initial checksum. If the checksums do not match, the read/write operation fails and the error is logged. If the checksums match, the integrity check is repeated through each layer in the read/write path to enable detecting data corruption at the point of source.

摘要： An error detection mechanism is provided for detecting sequential and distributed errors in a device I/O stream. The sensitivity of the errors is user definable. The result of the error detection is fed back into the path management software, which may use the error information to decide whether a device path should be disabled. The error detection mechanism sets a time span for a time window and counts the number of errors that occur during the time window. Each time a time window ends with at least one error, the sequential error count and the distributed error count are incremented. However, if an I/O returns without an error, the sequential error count is cleared. If the sequential error count reaches a predetermined limit, the path is disabled. After a predetermined number of time windows, if the distributed error count reaches a predetermined limit, the path is disabled.

摘要： A mechanism is provided for monitoring I/O activity of each device and the total I/O activity for each adapter. When there is low I/O activity for the tape subsystem, the I/O for the disk subsystems may be spread across all available adapters and paths. When I/O activity for the tape subsystem increases, the I/O activity for the disk subsystems may be reduced on the adapter processing the tape I/O, but will continue across all other adapters. If the tape subsystem begins to report errors due to I/O starvation, the disk I/O activity may be adjusted until the errors stop.
摘要翻译：提供了一种机制，用于监视每个设备的I / O活动以及每个适配器的总I / O活动。当磁带子系统的I / O活动较低时，磁盘子系统的I / O可能会扩展到所有可用的适配器和路径上。当磁带子系统的I / O活动增加时，可能会在处理磁带I / O的适配器上减少磁盘子系统的I / O活动，但会在所有其他适配器上继续运行。如果磁带子系统由于I / O不足而开始报告错误，则可能会调整磁盘I / O活动，直到错误停止为止。
