摘要： Placing workloads in a multi-array system comprising a plurality of storage arrays, including: determining, for each of a plurality of storage arrays, a current system activity level trend of the storage array; receiving a performance profile of a workload to be executed on one of the storage arrays; generating, for each of the plurality of storage arrays in dependence upon the current system activity level trend of the storage array and the performance profile of the workload, a projected system activity level trend for the storage array; identifying, in dependence upon the projected system activity level trend for each of the plurality of storage arrays, an optimal storage array for receiving the workload; and placing the workload on the optimal storage array.

摘要： A system and method for efficiently performing user storage virtualization for data stored in a storage system including a plurality of solid-state storage devices. A data storage subsystem supports multiple mapping tables. Records within a mapping table are arranged in multiple levels. Each level stores pairs of a key value and a pointer value. The levels are sorted by time. New records are inserted in a created newest (youngest) level. No edits are performed in-place. All levels other than the youngest may be read only. The system may further include an overlay table which identifies those keys within the mapping table that are invalid.

摘要： A method for accessing a file in a storage system is provided. The method includes determining, for each file chunk of the file, an authority among differing storage nodes of the storage system and receiving from the authority having ownership of the file chunk, location information for the file chunk. The method includes accessing file chunks of the file as directed by each of the determined authorities.

摘要： A non-volatile solid-state storage is provided. The non-volatile solid state storage includes a non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) addressable by a processor external to the non-volatile solid state storage. The NVRAM is configured to store user data and metadata relating to the user data. The non-volatile solid state storage includes a flash memory addressable by the processor. The flash memory is configured to store the user data responsive to the processor directing transfer of the user data from the NVRAM to the flash memory.

摘要： A plurality of storage nodes in a single chassis is provided. The plurality of storage nodes includes a first plurality of storage nodes configured to communicate together as a first storage cluster and a second plurality of storage nodes configured to communicate together as a second storage cluster. Each of the first and second pluralities of storage nodes has nonvolatile solid-state memory for user data storage and each of the first and second pluralities of storage nodes is configured to distribute user data and metadata associated with the user data throughout a respective plurality of storage nodes such that a respective storage cluster maintains ability to read the user data, using erasure coding, despite a loss of one or more of the respective plurality of storage nodes.

摘要： A system and method for efficiently storing data in a storage system. A data storage subsystem includes multiple data storage locations on multiple storage devices in addition to at least one mapping table. A data storage controller determines whether data to store in the storage subsystem has one or more patterns of data intermingled with non-pattern data within an allocated block. Rather than store the one or more pattern on the storage devices, the controller stores information in a header on the storage devices. The information includes at least an offset for the first instance of a pattern, a pattern length, and an identification of the pattern. The data may be reconstructed for a corresponding read request from the information stored in the header.

摘要： A method for proactively rebuilding user data in a plurality of storage nodes of a storage cluster is provided. The method includes distributing user data and metadata throughout the plurality of storage nodes such that the plurality of storage nodes can read the user data, using erasure coding, despite loss of two of the storage nodes. The method includes determining that one of the storage nodes is unreachable and determining to rebuild the user data for the one of the storage nodes that is unreachable. The method includes reading the user data across a remainder of the plurality of storage nodes, using the erasure coding and writing the user data across the remainder of the plurality of storage nodes, using the erasure coding. A plurality of storage nodes within a single chassis that can proactively rebuild the user data stored within the storage nodes is also provided.

摘要翻译： 提供了一种用于主动地重建存储集群的多个存储节点中的用户数据的方法。 该方法包括在整个多个存储节点中分配用户数据和元数据，使得多个存储节点可以使用擦除编码来读取用户数据，尽管丢失了两个存储节点。 该方法包括确定存储节点中的一个是不可达的并且确定为不可达的存储节点之一重建用户数据。 该方法包括使用擦除编码在多个存储节点的剩余部分中使用擦除编码和跨多个存储节点的其余部分写入用户数据来读取用户数据。 还提供了可以主动地重建存储在存储节点内的用户数据的单个机架内的多个存储节点。
