摘要： First and second inputs are associated with a port. Logic produces indications to software to cause the first input and second input to appear as a single input to the software. The logic produces an indication that no signal is present on either the first input or the second input. When a port bypass controller is coupled to the port, the logic produces an indication that both the first and second inputs are bypassed. When the port bypass controller is coupled to a Fibre Channel arbitrated loop, the logic produces a first signal to control whether the first input is included on the Fibre Channel arbitrated loop or bypassed, and a second signal to control whether the second input is included in the Fibre Channel arbitrated loop or bypassed.

摘要： High availability is provided in a storage system. The storage system includes a plurality of storage devices having reserved space, for example, for an operating system. Several power branches provide power to the storage devices. At least one of the storage devices is coupled to a first of the power branches, and at least one other storage device is coupled to another of the power branches. Furthermore, each of several devices has a unique address represented by a separate plurality of address bits. Logic produces intermediate bits, the number of intermediate bits being fewer than the number of address bits. The intermediate bits are used to drive the address bits. Some of the intermediate bits drive more than one address bit.

摘要： Single and dual ported devices are interfaced to a system via a 2:2 multiplexing device. The multiplexing device is coupled to two system ports and two device ports. The multiplexing device includes an active multiplexer coupled to the two system ports and a multiplexed port. The multiplexing device also includes bypass circuitry coupled to the two system ports and two bypass ports. In operation, when the multiplexing device is coupled via one of the device ports to a single ported device such as a single ported disk drive, the active multiplexer is activated and the bypass circuitry is deactivated and the multiplexed port is coupled to the device port. When the multiplexing device is coupled via both device ports to a dual ported device, the active multiplexer is deactivated and the bypass circuitry is activated and the bypass ports are coupled to the two device ports.

摘要： Described are a system and method for reading revision information from an adapter board that interfaces a disk drive using request and grant signals. An adapter board is in electrical communication with a disk drive and with a control board. The adapter board has a controller with memory for storing data, with a request input terminal for receiving a request signal from the control board requesting access to a disk drive, with a grant output terminal for transmitting a grant signal to the control board granting access to the disk drive, and with a power down input terminal for receiving a power down signal to turn off power to the disk drive. The controller enters a read mode of operation in response to receiving a power down signal on the power down input terminal to enable the data stored in the memory to be read.

摘要： Described are a system and method of detecting an improperly connected cable in a storage system. A system includes an enclosure having boards. Each board of the enclosure has a communications port that receives a message identifying a redundant backend network to which that board is connected. The enclosure determines whether the system has an improper cable connection by determining from the messages whether the boards are connected to the same redundant backend network.
