摘要： A dynamically upgradeable disk array chassis, and a method for dynamically upgrading a data storage system. The dynamically upgradeable disk array chassis includes a serial bus having a first bus for passing data in one direction and a second bus for passing data in the opposite direction. A shunt connects the first and second buses in a normal state. The shunt has a switched state in which each of the first and second buses is coupled to a separate output from the chassis. The chassis includes an environmental monitor connected to a communication path. Upon connecting a new disk array chassis to an active disk array chassis, the environmental monitor communicates through the communication path before switching the shunt to connect the serial bus with the serial bus of the new disk array chassis. The disk array chassis may include a diplexer for connecting the communication path to the separate outputs of the shunt and for combining the communication path signals with the serial path signals in one direction and for separating these signals in the other direction. The environmental monitor path communications and the serial bus communications can take place over a single twinax cable.

摘要： A high frequency signal and a low frequency signal are coupled onto a pair of conductors providing a communication link between two computer components. The high frequency signal may be a differentially coupled Fibre Channel 8B/10B encoded signal. A diplexer includes a low pass filter for attenuating the Fibre Channel signal and a high pass filter for separately attenuating the low frequency signal. A two-way communication link may be provided over twinax cable. An environmental monitor may be in connection with the low frequency communication path.

摘要： One embodiment is directed to an object addressable storage (OAS) system that has a plurality of storage devices to store a plurality of content units. The OAS system provides an OAS interface so that each one of the content units stored on the OAS system can be accessed using an object identifier. The OAS system is capable of discovering the addition of newly added storage devices to the plurality of storage devices after the OAS system has been at least partially populated so that at least some of the plurality of storage devices have content units already stored thereon, and in response to the discovery of newly added storage devices, configuring the newly discovered storage devices to increase the storage capacity of the OAS system and to enable content units to be stored thereon.

摘要： One embodiment relates to a computer system comprising at least one host, at least one object addressable storage (OAS) system and at least one communication medium that couples the at least one host to the at least one OAS system. The at least one OAS system has a plurality of storage devices and stores a plurality of content units on the plurality of storage devices. Each of the at least one host and the at least one OAS system has software that provides a OAS interface so that each one of the content units stored on the OAS system may be identified between the at least one host and the at least one OAS using an object identifier. The computer system maps the object identifier for a first of the plurality of content units to at least one of the plurality of storage devices over at least one first path. In response to a failure that prevents the at least one host from accessing the first content unit via the at least one first path, the computer system is automatically reconfigured to establish at least one previously non-established second path that enables the at least one host to access the first content unit using the object identifier for the first content unit.

摘要： A recovery method for use in a data storage system in which a plurality of data storage devices are connected to each of two communication paths. A switch may route requests to either of the two communication paths. With one data storage controller in communication with the data storage devices over a first path and a second data storage controller in communication with the data storage devices over a second path, upon detection of a malfunction on the first path, a data storage controller may request access to the other path. Thereafter, the controller may be switched into connection with the remaining operable path so as to share that path with the other controller.
