    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method for die-level monitoring is provided. The method includes distributing user data throughout a plurality of storage nodes through erasure coding, wherein the plurality of storage nodes are housed within a chassis that couples the storage nodes. Each of the storage nodes has a non-volatile solid-state storage with non-volatile memory and the user data is accessible via the erasure coding from a remainder of the storage nodes in event of two of the storage nodes being unreachable. The method includes producing diagnostic information that diagnoses the non-volatile memory on a basis of per package, per die, per plane, per block, or per page, the producing performed by each of the plurality of storage nodes. The method includes writing the diagnostic information to a memory in the storage cluster.

    Abstract: A method for erasure detection in a storage cluster is provided. The method includes establishing a connection, via a network, of a storage unit to one of a plurality of storage nodes of a storage cluster and determining, for at least one page of a storage memory of the storage unit, that the at least one page is erased. The storage unit is one of a plurality of storage units configured to store user data in memory of the storage units in accordance with direction from the plurality of storage nodes. The method includes communicating from the storage unit to the one of the plurality of storage nodes that the at least one page is erased.

    Abstract: A storage cluster is provided. The storage cluster includes a plurality of storage nodes, each of the plurality of storage nodes having nonvolatile solid-state memory and a plurality of operations queues coupled to the solid-state memory. The plurality of storage nodes is configured to distribute the user data and metadata throughout the plurality of storage nodes such that the plurality of storage nodes can access the user data with a failure of two of the plurality of storage nodes. Each of the plurality of storage nodes is configured to determine whether a read of 1 or more bits in the solid-state memory via a first path is within a latency budget. The plurality of storage nodes is configured to perform a read of user data or metadata via a second path, responsive to a determination that the read of the bit via the first path is not within the latency budget.

    Abstract: A method for adjustable error correction in a storage cluster is provided. The method includes determining health of a non-volatile memory of a non-volatile solid-state storage unit of each of a plurality of storage nodes in a storage cluster on a basis of per flash package, per flash die, per flash plane, per flash block, or per flash page. The determining is performed by the storage cluster. The plurality of storage nodes is housed within a chassis that couples the storage nodes as the storage cluster. The method includes adjusting erasure coding across the plurality of storage nodes based on the health of the non-volatile memory and distributing user data throughout the plurality of storage nodes through the erasure coding. The user data is accessible via the erasure coding from a remainder of the plurality of storage nodes if any of the plurality of storage nodes are unreachable.

    Abstract: A method for non-disruptive upgrade of a storage system is provided. The method includes disabling, by an interlock, access by one or more processors of the storage system to the first memory, responsive to a request. The method includes persisting configuration information in the first memory to the solid-state memory, with the access to the first memory disabled by the interlock, wherein the persisting, the first memory and the solid-state memory are supported by an energy reserve. The method includes enabling, by the interlock, access by the one or more processors to the first memory, responsive to completing the persisting, and writing, by the one or more processors of the storage system, to the first memory, to perform the upgrade with further configuration information, with the access enabled by the interlock and wherein at least the persisting is accomplished without power cycling.
