摘要： Disk array storage device apparatus for enhancing the performance of an application on a data processing system that operates with a disk array storage device in which the completion of tasks associated with different transactions with one logical storage device are conditions precedent to the completion of other transactions. Specific tasks related to the one logical device are given priority over tasks related to all other logical storage devices. In a specific implementation reconnect tasks are given the highest priority with reconnect tasks from the one logical storage device being given the highest priority. A second category of tasks related to the one logical storage device can be given priority over all other tasks except reconnect tasks. All other tasks are given a priority below that of the first and second task categories.

摘要： A method and apparatus for enabling a magnetic disk storage device that stores data according to a first data structure characterized by a fixed-length disk block size to respond to input/output requests from a host that define data according to a different data structure characterized by a different fixed-length host block size. A host adapter transfers requests and data between the host and a cache memory in the magnetic disk storage device as host blocks. A disk adapter transfers requests and data between the cache memory and magnetic disks as disk blocks. CRC data and a sector number are appended to each host block in a set of disk blocks.

摘要： Example embodiments of the present invention provide for parallel replication of an IO received by a storage array. Such parallelism provide numerous benefits, including enqueuing the command phase of the write command at the storage array and the replication appliance in parallel, providing data still in memory (i.e., slot) and not destaged to disk, and providing data processing in parallel (e.g., validate checksum, validate data is good, validate internal data structures).

摘要： A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving a Mode Select command concerning a logical unit number (LUN) from a first host, wherein the Mode Select command defines control information and host identifier information concerning the first host, and the LUN is currently being controlled by a second host. The Mode Select command is processed to determine if the control information and host identifier information included within the Mode Select command signifies an intent by the first host to seize control of the LUN from the second host. If the control information and host identifier information signifies an intent to seize control of the LUN from the second host, the control information and host identifier information included within the Mode Select command is written to a buffer associated with the LUN, wherein the buffer includes a control field and a globally unique identifier (GUID) field.

摘要： Determining whether to migrate from a source storage device to a target storage device includes determining if the target storage device is accessible by hosts that access the source storage device, determining if reservation information stored on the target storage device matches reservation information stored on the source storage device and migrating from the source storage device to the target storage device if the target storage device is accessible by hosts that access the source storage device and reservation information stored on the target storage device matches reservation information stored on the source storage device. Determining whether to migrate from a source storage device to a target storage device may also include, in response to initially determining that the reservation information stored on the target storage device does not match the reservation information stored on the source storage device, attempting to match the reservation information.

摘要： A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving a Mode Select command concerning a single LUN from each of a plurality of potential hosts. Each Mode Select command defines control information and host identifier information concerning the potential host associated with the Mode Select command. The received Mode Select commands are processed serially and in accordance with the order in which the Mode Select commands were received. The first Mode Select command received is accepted and subsequent Mode Select commands received are rejected, thus defining an accepted Mode Select command and one or more rejected Mode Select commands. The control information and host identifier information included within the accepted Mode Select command are written to a buffer associated with the single LUN. The buffer includes a control field and a GUID field.

摘要： Described are techniques for caching. At a first point in time, a first set of data portions currently stored in a first cache of a first data storage system is determined. Each data portion of the first set is located on a first device of the first data storage system. Sent to a second data storage system is first information including information identifying a storage location on the first device for each data portion of the first set. The second data storage system includes a second device that is maintained as a mirror of the first device. The storage location for each data portion of the first set is used to identify a second storage location of the second device corresponding to the storage location. The first information is used to populate a second cache of the second data storage system.

摘要： Described are techniques for determining preferred paths. A host requests first information from each of one or more ports of a data storage system. The first information includes preferred path information for a first device visible to the host through each port. The preferred path information includes one or more parameters used by said host to perform one or more mathematical calculations to determine a preferred path for transmitting to the data storage system a data operation directed to the first device. The first information is sent from each port to the host.

摘要： A system and method for providing continuous availability of information that is normally transported via a network is provided. The system and method uses a process that is used with each computer in a system to simulate the functionality of a network interface card wherein upon the unavailability of the network, transmission packets containing a unique header are send by one application in the system through the process, which stores the transmission packets in queue, and upon filling of the queue writes filled queue to a send volume contained on a storage system. The storage system then copies the data to a second volume, which can be read by a second application. The first and second volumes can either be remotely dispersed or local to one another.

摘要： A method for storing data includes writing the data to a temporary storage location and buffering a mirror request to copy the data from the temporary storage location to a mirror. Once all the data is present, the validity of the data is determined. If the data is valid, the mirror request is executed. Otherwise, the mirror request is deleted.
