摘要： A data storage enclosure management system of a plurality of service processors is configured to communicate externally via a pair of FC-AL loops. Lead and subsidiary service processors are defined and lead service processors connect to ones of the FC-AL loops with an FC-AL address, and the lead and subsidiary service processors are connected by a secondary communication link. The lead service processor(s) employ an identifier unassociated with the FC-AL address to differentiate communications of the lead service processor from communications of an associated subsidiary service processor, the lead service processor serving as a proxy for the associated subsidiary service processor with respect to the FC-AL address and communicating with the associated subsidiary service processor via the secondary communication link.

摘要： A sector conversion device includes a small memory area that is used to save two sector's worth of data when power is lost during the sector conversion process. As part of the sector conversion process, the sector conversion device saves two sectors of data when a power loss event occurs. These two sectors of data are stored in the memory area within the sector conversion device itself. This sector memory within the sector conversion device is defined and partitioned separately from the main internal memory of the device. This sector memory is also powered by a separate voltage boundary from a hold up voltage source, which is connected to the sector conversion device via an independent set of voltage pins. The hold up voltage source enables the sector memory contents to be retained.

摘要： Mechanisms for thresholding system power loss notifications in a data processing system are provided. Power loss detection modules are provided in a data processing system having one or more data processing devices, such as blades in an IBM BladeCenter® chassis. The power loss detection modules detect the type of infrastructure of the data processing system, a position of a corresponding data processing device within the data processing system, and a capability of the data processing system to provide power during a power loss scenario. The detection module detects various inputs identifying these types of data processing system and power system characteristics and provides logic for defining a set of behaviors during a power loss scenario, e.g., behaviors for sending system notifications of imminent power loss. The detection of the various inputs and the defining of a set of behaviors may be performed statically and/or dynamically.

摘要： A radio frequency identifier (RFID) active/passive tag is provided to identify failed sub-CRU and location within a higher level CRU. When an error occurs on the base blade or within one of the sub-CRUs, the embedded processor writes failure information to the RFID. RFID tags may also contain data identifying the locations, of the sub-CRUs of the blade. Thus, when there is a failure, the RFID may report the failed component as well as the location of a failed sub-CRU. Sub-CRUs may also include an embedded processor and RFID tag. When a service action is initiated to repair or replace a blade, the RFID tag may be read by a RFID reader. The RFID reader device may then present failure information, including the identification of the failed sub-CRU and other associated information to the operator. The RFID reader device may also request associated information from a server computer.

摘要： A sector conversion device includes a non-volatile memory area that is used to save two sectors' worth of data when power is lost during the sector conversion process. These two sectors of data are stored in the non-volatile memory area within the sector conversion device itself. The non-volatile memory within the sector conversion device is connected to the main internal memory of the device by a special link that is wider than the normal word size of the buffer. When power is lost to the storage enclosure during a scenario where data is being written to the hard disk drives, which involves sector conversion, the internal processor of the sector conversion device immediately initiates a transfer from the volatile buffer queue memory to the non-volatile memory. The information that is transferred (hardened) is the two sectors of data that were involved in the sector conversion process.
