Abstract: A device adapter maintains a device polling table in memory that can be dynamically changed in response to disk drive device failures and is updated with each poll so that failed devices can be quickly deleted from the table and alternate device polling mapping can be achieved. A system reconfiguration is not necessary to implement the modifications to the system processing. The device adapter is capable of a greater variety of processing tasks than is conventional, including determining cylinder head position and copying data that otherwise would be performed by a control unit.

Abstract translation: 设备适配器在内存中维护设备轮询表，可以根据磁盘驱动器设备故障动态更改设备轮询表，并通过每次轮询进行更新，从而可以从表中快速删除故障设备，并可实现备用设备轮询映射。 系统重新配置不需要实现对系统处理的修改。 设备适配器能够具有比常规的更多种类的处理任务，包括确定气缸盖位置和复制另外由控制单元执行的数据。
