摘要: Embodiments of systems and methods for routing commands to a distributed RAID system are disclosed. Specifically, embodiments may route a command to an appropriate data bank in a distributed RAID system, where each data bank has a set of associated storage media and executes a similar distributed RAID application. The distributed RAID applications on each of the data banks coordinate among themselves to distribute and control data flow associated with implementing a level of RAID in conjunction with data stored on the associated storage media of the data banks.

摘要: A bridge for coupling two buses together utilizes a data buffer to act as a point of synchronization to provide effective data operations between the buses. The bridge includes master and slave capability on both buses and an arbiter for selecting between requests from bus masters on one bus. The data buffer includes a number of dual ported memories for write posting and read ahead operations. Each dual ported memory is allocated to a bus master of the one bus. The bridge allows data operations to each dual ported memory based on data or space availability of the memory. Simultaneous reading and writing capability on alternate buses is provided.

摘要: A plurality of read-ahead FIFOs, each with an LRU replacement policy, is provided for enhancing buffer performance. The FIFO contains a plurality of adaptive buffer replacement counters to monitor usage statistics of the FIFOs and to identify one of the FIFOs as a refill candidate buffer in the event of a miss which requires new data to be brought into one of the FIFOs. Each FIFO has a hit detector and a flush detector for comparing the address of a data request from the bus master with the address stored by each buffer for indicating FIFO hit or invalidate operations. Each FIFO also has a buffer selector to provide data from the buffer selected by the hit detector to the bus master if the selected FIFO buffer has not been invalidated by the invalidate address comparator. The buffer selector otherwise transferring the requested data from the memory to the refill candidate buffer and presenting new data from the refill candidate buffer to the bus master. The FIFO has an invalidate address comparator coupled to the memory and the FIFOs to compares write addresses to the memory with each address of each FIFO to invalidate the FIFO buffer whose address tag matches the invalidate address to ensure data coherency.

摘要: SAS devices provide an OPEN frame when requesting a connection or path to a device. An initiator connection tag value, preferably a 16-bit value, is included in this OPEN frame by the initiator. The initiator connection tag value is included by the target device when the target device reconnects to the initiator. The initiator can use this smaller value in a table lookup to rapidly and easily identify the target device, without requiring decoding of the 64-bit WWN and without waiting to receive a frame containing a tag from the target and decoding that tag.

摘要: The present invention relates to a method of in-band communication, outside the standard SCSI communication protocol, between SCSI bus repeaters and initiator devices. The present invention implements the communication mode during the message phase of the SCSI protocol and allows initiators on a SCSI bus to determine the number, location and status of SCSI repeaters accessible on the SCSI bus.

摘要: A computer system which includes a circuit to monitor the PCI bus master grant lines and provide a disk drive activity signal if an appropriate grant line is activated. The PCI bus master grant lines are combined with mask signals, so that the grant lines not associated with a PCI bus master such as a SCSI controller are ignored. If an unmasked grant line is activated, a down counter is loaded. While the counter is at a non-zero value, a disk drive activity signal is provided. This disk drive activity signal is combined with other disk drive activity signals to drive the disk drive activity LED.
