    摘要: A method is disclosed for failover protection in an information storage and retrieval system comprising two clusters, two device adapters, and a plurality of data storage devices. The method provides a first device driver for a first device adapter and a second device driver for a second device adapter, and disposes those device drivers in both clusters. The method then places in operation the first device driver disposed in a first cluster, places in operation the second device driver disposed in a second cluster, and places in a standby mode the first device driver disposed in the second cluster. The method detects a failure of the first cluster, followed by a failure of the second device adapter. The method then makes operational the first device driver disposed in the second cluster, and continues to access information stored in the plurality of data storage devices using the first device adapter, and the first device driver disposed in the second cluster.

    摘要: Provided is a system for processing Input/Output (I/O) requests to a storage network including at least one storage device and at least two adaptors, wherein each adaptor is capable of communicating I/O requests to the at least one storage device. An error is detected in a system including a first adaptor, wherein the first adaptor is capable of communicating on the network after the error is detected. In response to detecting the error, a master switch timer is started that is less than a system timeout period if the first adaptor is the master. An error recovery procedure in the system including the first adaptor would be initiated after the system timeout period has expired. An operation is initiated to designate another adaptor in the storage network as the master if the first adaptor is the master in response to detecting an expiration of the master switch timer.

    摘要: Disclosed are a method and system for a storage controller to manage the allocation of emulated storage devices to physical storage segments. The space within the emulated devices is identified by a logical address. The storage controller is in communication with at least one host device and at least one physical storage device. A plurality of tables, each having entry spaces to store segment identification or segment table and entry identification, is established in the storage controller. The tables define a tree structure by which a segment to be accessed is identified by mapping a logical address through the tables to a segment identification. The number of tables, the number of pages in each table, and the number of entries in each page are selected to optimize the amount of space in the storage controller required by the tables and to ensure that the segments may be allocated in any proportion among the emulated storage devices, including all of the segments being allocated to a single emulated device. Moreover, the allocation of segments to emulated storage space is dynamic by changing the contents of the tables.
