摘要： A computer system in accordance with the present invention provides a method of communicating asynchronous events from a mini-port driver of a computer system to a software component without polling the mini-port driver. The computer system provides a monolithic driver as a dispatch between a mini-port driver and a software component. Until an asynchronous event is detected, an event thread in the monolithic driver to a software component is blocked. When an asynchronous event is detected by the mini-port driver, the mini-port driver calls the monolithic driver with a monolithic driver entry point which queues the event and unblocks the event thread. The monolithic driver provides the asynchronous event to the software component through the unblocked event thread. The event thread is then re-blocked and remains blocked until another asynchronous event is detected. Asynchronous events are thereby communicated from a mini-port driver to a software component without polling the mini-port driver.
摘要翻译：根据本发明的计算机系统提供了将异步事件从计算机系统的小型端口驱动器传送到软件组件而不轮询小型端口驱动器的方法。计算机系统提供单片驱动程序作为微型端口驱动程序和软件组件之间的调度。在检测到异步事件之前，单个驱动程序中的软件组件的事件线程被阻止。当微型端口驱动程序检测到异步事件时，微型端口驱动程序使用单片驱动程序入口点调用单片驱动程序，该入口点对事件进行排队并解除阻塞事件线程。单片驱动程序通过未阻塞的事件线程向软件组件提供异步事件。事件线程然后被重新阻塞，并保持阻塞，直到检测到另一个异步事件。因此，异步事件从微型端口驱动器传递到软件组件，而不轮询小型端口驱动程序。

摘要： Embodiments of systems and methods for routing commands to a distributed RAID system are disclosed. Specifically, embodiments may route a command to an appropriate data bank in a distributed RAID system, where each data bank has a set of associated storage media and executes a similar distributed RAID application. The distributed RAID applications on each of the data banks coordinate among themselves to distribute and control data flow associated with implementing a level of RAID in conjunction with data stored on the associated storage media of the data banks.

摘要： A system and method for enabling multi-path functionality between a host bus adapter (HBA) in a host computer of a storage system and at least one storage device is disclosed. The host computer includes a processor and associated memory, and an operating system including a PnP manager that maintains a logical device stack for the storage device. An HBA-specific filter driver intercepts responses from the underlying HBA driver to specified PnP requests. These responses are modified to prevent standard Microsoft operating system SCSI class device drivers from being loaded for devices attached to the HBA. Instead, the modified responses cause a multi-path SCSI class device driver to be loaded. The filter driver also monitors the status of the paths to a device and, upon request, provides status information to the multi-path SCSI class device driver. The multi-path SCSI class driver may use this status information to decide whether to make a particular path a primary path. The actions required to make a path a primary path may be performed by the filter driver, e.g., through a function call to the filter driver initiated by the multi-path SCSI driver.

摘要： A computer system with a plurality of devices compatible with the Fibre Channel Protocol, which computer system is provided with the capability to dynamically alter the configuration of the plurality of devices without a system reset, or without additional software overhead. This capability is realized by providing unique mapping relationships between low-level Fibre Channel information structures related to the devices and upper-level link elements compatible with an Operating System associated with the computer system.
