    • Proposed are a disk array system and a traffic control method with which reliability can be improved by preventing system shutdown. A disk array system comprises a controller for controlling data I/O to and from a backend unit; a plurality of expanders provided in the backend unit and connected to the controller by way of a tree-structure topology; a plurality of storage devices provided in the backend unit and each connected to the corresponding expander; and a control unit for controlling the controller on the basis of an I/O request from a host device. The disk array system is configured such that the controller notifies the control unit of a link fault that has occurred in the backend unit, and the control unit, when supplied with the link fault notification from the controller, restricts issuance of I/O requests from the host device or restricts receipt of I/O requests sent from the host device as necessary.

    • The present invention aims to improve the performance of a storage apparatus.A controller of a storage apparatus stores therein for each piece of information indicating a communication rate in association with identification of the information piece, and performs speed negotiation for setting a communication rate with an expander upon detecting that coupling to the expander via a communication path has been established. The expander transmits identification information associated with its own maximum communication rate to the controller. The controller acquires the maximum communication rate of the expander on the basis of the identification information, obtains an expected value of the communication rate with the expander on the basis of the maximum communication rate of the expander and the maximum communication rate of the controller, and compares the communication rate set by the speed negotiation with the expected value.
    • 本发明旨在提高存储装置的性能。 存储装置的控制器在其中存储表示与信息片段的识别相关联的通信速率的每条信息,并且在检测到经由通信路径与扩展器的耦合具有的扩展器中进行速度协商以设置与扩展器的通信速率 成立 扩展器将与其自身的最大通信速率相关联的识别信息发送到控制器。 控制器基于识别信息获取扩展器的最大通信速率,根据扩展器的最大通信速率和控制器的最大通信速率获得与扩展器的通信速率的期望值,以及 将通过速度协商设置的通信速率与期望值进行比较。

    • With a storage system including a drive and a controller, which are connected to each other via cables, and with a method for controlling the storage system, an emergency power supply voltage for a power failure at the drive is multiplexed at the controller with a first signal to be sent to the drive, and the resultant emergency power supply voltage is sent via the cable to the drive. When a power failure occurs at the drive, the drive is powered with the emergency power supply voltage sent from the controller, and specified power failure information is multiplexed at the drive with a second signal to be sent to the controller, and the resultant power failure information is then sent via the cable to the controller; and specified processing is executed at the controller in response to the power failure information sent from the drive via the cable. Accordingly, it is possible to realize a storage system and the controlling method therefor that are adequate for practical applications and can sufficiently cope with drive power failures without the need for complication and upsizing of the entire system configuration.
