摘要： Recovering data provided in chunks to a plurality of secondary storage devices includes, for each of the secondary storage devices, discarding data corresponding chunks for which all data thereof has not been received, and, for each of the secondary storage devices, restoring a chunk of data thereto where all of the chunks of data restored to the plurality of secondary storage devices correspond to a particular transmission cycle of primary storage devices that provide data to the plurality of secondary storage devices. Recovering data may also include, following discarding and prior to restoring, for each of the plurality of secondary storage devices having two different chunks, waiting for external intervention to indicate whether to restore a particular one of the chunks. The external intervention may be provided by a host computer that is proximate to at least one of the secondary storage devices or may be provided by a host computer that is proximate to at least one of the primary storage computers.

摘要： Ordering data writes includes at least some of a group of primary storage devices receiving a first plurality of data writes, causing a cycle switch for the group of primary storage devices where the first plurality of data writes are associated with a particular cycle on each primary storage device in the group, and at least some of the group of primary storage devices receiving a second plurality of writes after initiating the cycle switch where all of the second plurality of writes are associated with a cycle different from the particular cycle on each primary storage device. Writes to the group begun after initiating the cycle switch may not complete until after the cycle switch has completed. Ordering data writes may also include, after completion of the cycle switch, each of the primary storage devices of the group initiating transfer of the first plurality of writes to a corresponding secondary storage device. Ordering data writes may also include, following each of the primary storage devices of the group completing transfer of the first plurality of writes to a corresponding secondary storage device, each of the primary storage devices sending a message to the corresponding secondary storage device.

摘要： Ordering data writes includes at least some of a group of primary storage devices receiving a first plurality of data writes, causing a cycle switch for the group of primary storage devices where the first plurality of data writes are associated with a particular cycle on each primary storage device in the group, and at least some of the group of primary storage devices receiving a second plurality of writes after initiating the cycle switch where all of the second plurality of writes are associated with a cycle different from the particular cycle on each primary storage device. Writes to the group begun after initiating the cycle switch may not complete until after the cycle switch has completed. Ordering data writes may also include, after completion of the cycle switch, each of the primary storage devices of the group initiating transfer of the first plurality of writes to a corresponding secondary storage device. Ordering data writes may also include, following each of the primary storage devices of the group completing transfer of the first plurality of writes to a corresponding secondary storage device, each of the primary storage devices sending a message to the corresponding secondary storage device.

摘要翻译： 订购数据写入包括接收第一多个数据写入的一组主存储设备中的至少一些，从而为主存储设备组进行循环切换，其中第一多个数据写入与每个主存储器上的特定周期相关联 该组中的至少一些初级存储设备中的至少一些，在启动循环开关之后接收第二多个写入的组中的至少一些，其中所有第二多个写入都与不同于每个主存储设备上的特定周期的循环相关联 。 启动循环开关后开始的组写入可能不会完成，直到循环切换完成。 订购数据写入还可以包括在循环切换完成之后，组中的每个主存储设备启动第一多个写入的传送到对应的辅助存储设备。 订购数据写入还可以包括，在组的每个主存储设备完成将第一多个写入传送到相应的辅助存储设备之后，每个主存储设备向相应的辅助存储设备发送消息。

摘要： Maintaining an ordering of transmitted data includes associating a sequence number with each element of the transmitted data, where the sequence number indicates a temporal relationship between different ones of the elements. Maintaining an ordering also includes maintaining a last aborted sequence number and an indicator of whether receipt of information indicating that the last aborted sequence number has been acknowledged and rejecting data associated with a sequence number indicative of a time before a time corresponding to the last aborted sequence number. The last aborted sequence number may be sent until receipt thereof is acknowledged. No data may be transmitted until receipt of the last aborted sequence number is acknowledged. The sequence numbers may be incremented by one.

摘要翻译： 保持发送数据的排序包括将序列号与发送数据的每个元素相关联，其中序列号表示不同元素之间的时间关系。 维护排序还包括保持最后中止的序列号和指示是否接收到指示最后中止的序列号已经被确认的信息，以及拒绝与指示与最后中止序列相对应的时间之前的时间的序列号相关联的数据 数。 可以发送最后中止的序列号，直到确认其接收。 在接收到最后中止的序列号被确认之前，不能发送数据。 序列号可以增加1。

摘要： Handling ordered writes to a data storage device includes receiving a first chunk of data into slots of a cache of the data storage device and using a hash table to provide a correlation between cache slots containing data from the first chunk of data and locations of a logical storage device of the data storage device. Handling ordered writes may also include maintaining a circularly linked list of pointers to cache slots containing the first chunk of data. Handling ordered writes may also include receiving a second chunk of data into slots of the cache of the data storage device and receiving a message indicating that all data corresponding to the first chunk of data has been transferred to the data storage device. Handling ordered writes may also include, in response to receiving the message, storing data from the first chunk on to the logical storage device. Handling ordered writes may also include using a hash table to provide a correlation between cache slots containing data from the second chunk of data and locations of a logical storage device of the data storage device.
