摘要： The present invention is directed to an apparatus capable of dual porting a serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) disk drive in a fault tolerant communication system, such as fibre channel. The dual porting apparatus includes two idle regenerators coupled to two serial master devices, a synchronization logic capable of synchronizing the communications between one of the idle regenerators and a third idle regenerator coupled to the SATA disk drive. Furthermore the dual porting apparatus may include an auto detector capable of enabling either of the first two idle regenerators, thus effectively switching between the two.

摘要： Disclosed is a storage system. The storage system includes a redundant array of inexpensive disks (RAID) controller. The RAID controller includes a flash memory controller coupled to a flash memory. The flash memory controller may perform background management tasks. These include logging and error reporting, address translation, cache table management, bad block management, defect management, wear leveling, and garbage collection. The array controller also allows the flash memory to be divided into multiple mappings.

摘要： The present invention is directed to a method and system for providing, transparent mixed mode, object and block data storage transport. The system implements I/O modules capable of translating between communication protocols for providing common message passing multi-channel data transport for data storage while providing apparent I/O circuit exclusivity to controllers. The system is capable of converting object based transports for block storage, thus permitting both block and object based access to the storage complex. Implementing the system of the present invention allows for a common data transport system permitting component scalability and virtualization while allowing for target and initiator mode utilization of I/O interface circuits.

摘要： Data storage space in a data storage system is represented to the devices that access the data (e.g. “servers”) as a single virtual storage device containing logical volumes of data, even though the storage space is typically formed from several storage devices and possibly from arrays of storage devices containing multiple volumes of data. Therefore, the servers can issue the access requests through any available transfer path from the servers to the virtual storage device. However, I/O (input/output) devices control access between the servers and the devices that control access to the data (e.g. “array controllers”), so that the access requests from the servers are uniformly routed to the preferred array controllers independently of the transfer paths through which the servers issue the access requests.
摘要翻译：数据存储系统中的数据存储空间被表示为将数据（例如“服务器”）作为包含逻辑卷数据的单个虚拟存储设备的设备，即使存储空间通常由多个存储设备形成，并且可能来自包含多卷数据的存储设备阵列。因此，服务器可以通过从服务器到虚拟存储设备的任何可用传输路径发出访问请求。然而，I / O（输入/输出）设备控制服务器和控制对数据访问的设备（例如“阵列控制器”）之间的访问，使得来自服务器的访问请求被均匀地路由到优选的阵列控制器的服务器发布访问请求的传输路径。

摘要： Systems and associated methods for flexible scalability of storage systems. In one aspect, a storage controller may include an interface to a fabric adapted to permit each storage controller coupled to the fabric to directly access memory mapped components of all other storage controllers coupled to the fabric. The CPU and other master device circuits within a storage controller may directly address memory an I/O devices directly coupled thereto within the same storage controller and may use RDMA features to directly address memory an I/O devices of other storage controllers through the fabric interface.

摘要： A method and apparatus for taking a snapshot of a storage system employing a solid state disk (SSD). A plurality of mapping tables in the SSD store data needed to create a one or more point in time snapshots and a current view of the SSD. In response to a write command, the SSD executes its normal write process and updates its mapping tables to indicate the current view of the SSD and additionally retains the original data in a table of pointers to the original data, as the snapshot of an earlier state of the SSD. In the preferred embodiment, the innate ability of SSDs to write data to a new location is used to perform a point-in-time copy with little or no loss in performance in performing the snapshot.
