摘要： A first RAID module is added to a first RAID controller and a second RAID module is added to a second RAID controller. An array of physical disks is partitioned into two partitions across the array of physical disks. The first partition is assigned to the first RAID module and the second partition is exposed to the second RAID module. Each of the RAID modules exposes their respective partitions to their associated RAID controller as a single array. Each RAID module further receives I/O from its respective RAID controller, and translates the I/O to access its associated partition.

摘要： Disclosed herein is an enhanced volume manager (VM) for a storage system that accelerates input/output (I/O) performance for random write operations to a striped disk array using parity. More specifically, various implementations are directed to accelerating “random writes” (writes comprising less than a complete stripe of data) by consolidating several random writes together to create a “sequential write” (a full-stripe write) to eliminate one or more read operations and/or increase the volume of new/updated data stored for each write operation. Several such implementations comprise functionality in the VM (volume manager) for identifying random write I/O requests, queuing them locally in a journal, and then periodically flushing the journal to the disk array as a sequential write request.
摘要翻译：本文公开了一种用于存储系统的增强型卷管理器（VM），其加速使用奇偶校验的条带式磁盘阵列的随机写入操作的输入/输出（I / O）性能。更具体地，各种实现涉及通过将几个随机写入合并以创建“顺序写入”（全条带写入）来消除一个或多个读取来加速“随机写入”（包括小于完整数据条带的写入）操作和/或增加每个写操作存储的新/更新数据的数量。几个这样的实现包括VM（卷管理器）中的用于识别随机写入I / O请求的功能，将其本地排列在日志中，然后周期性地将日志刷新到磁盘阵列作为顺序写入请求。

摘要： Disclosed is a policy-based I/O dispatcher that intercepts I/O requests from several individual volumes made to a shared storage system (such as a RAID array) and manages these I/O requests so that no single volume monopolizes the I/O bandwidth and excludes the other volumes from timely completing their own I/O requests. Also disclosed are a plurality of attributes that may be assigned to each volume sharing a disk array to effectively manage the sharing of the disk array among the volumes. The I/O policy manager may handle I/O requests from several sources including volume-based iSCSI I/O requests as well as the file-share-based XFS I/O requests.

摘要： A RAID module for a RAID controller that includes a thin RAID layer and a thin disk layer. The thin RAID layer sits between an operating system layer and a RAID stack, and intercepts and fields requests and I/Os made the between operating system and the RAID stack. The thin disk layer sits between the RAID stack and the disks that comprise the array, and intercepts and fields requests and I/Os made between the RAID stack and the array. The module may maintain a bitmap with an entry corresponding to each stripe of the array. When the module detects that a stripe has zero data, the entry in the bitmap for the stripe is set to 0. When the module detects that data has been written to a stripe, the entry in the bitmap for the stripe is set to 1.

摘要： Systems and methods for maintaining data consistency across mirrored storage nodes. Data consistency may be maintained in networked storage environments using a timestamp of an I/O in the primary and secondary servers (also referred to as nodes) in synchronous replication to re-synchronize the data efficiently, without much performance drop and while reducing the memory footprint. According to an aspect presented herein, data consistency is maintained in a mirror node by timestamping the I/O for a volume's logical territory in both the primary and secondary nodes. The timestamp acts as a watermark. Thus, whenever a disaster or failure occurs, the watermark point determines the re-synchronization point.

摘要： A RAID bad block module is added to a RAID controller. The bad block module intercepts bad block errors and marks them in a bad block table. When a bad block error is intercepted the bad block module logs the error and determines, based on the error and previously received errors logged in the table, whether the RAID controller can handle the error without failing the entire array. If so, the bad block module passes the error to the RAID controller. Else, the bad block module passes the error to an application or operating system where it is handled like any other disk error. Thus, instead of failing the entire array, the bad block errors are dealt with by the operating system.

摘要： Technologies are described herein for performing a multi-protocol data transfer. A first protocol that guarantees reliability and in-order delivery of data packets is utilized to transmit control information for a data transfer. Once the control information has been transmitted and received at the destination, a second protocol is utilized to transfer the actual data. The second protocol does not guarantee data reliability or in-order delivery. If any data packets are not delivered to the destination using the second protocol, either the first protocol, the second protocol, or a combination can be utilized to retransmit the missing packets.

摘要： A method, system, apparatus, and computer-readable medium are provided for taking snapshots of a storage volume. According to aspects of one method, each snapshot is represented as a unique sequence number. Every fresh write access to a volume in a new snapshot lifetime is allocated a new section in the disk, called a provision, which is labeled with the sequence number. Read-modify-write operations are performed on a sub-provision level at the granularity of a chunk. Because each provision contains chunks with valid data and chunks with invalid data, a bitmap is utilized to identify the valid and invalid chunks with each provision. Provisions corresponding to different snapshots are arranged in a linked list. Branches from the linked list can be created for storing writable snapshots. Provisions may also be deleted and rolled back by manipulating the contents of the linked lists.

摘要： Technologies for an automated testing environment (ATE) framework can support the creation and execution of various automated tests on data storage systems. The ATE framework can support various configurations of multiple client systems exercising multiple storage target systems. A connectionless communication model can be supported among elements within the ATE. Complex tests can be subdivided into smaller jobs that can be executed sequentially, in parallel, or any combination thereof. Sophisticated scheduling mechanisms can include dependency relationships that can require one job to finish before another job begins. Multiple storage targets and multiple initiators can be involved in various configurations and combinations for specific testing tasks. The ATE framework can support extensibility, test tracking, reporting of test results, and fault injection.
