摘要:
An adapter, for converting a non-wireless accessory into a wireless one by emulating a portable audio and/or video player (such as an MP3 player). The adapter includes a housing containing a wireless receiver, and means to transmit received signal to a compatible dock for playback, in a manner which emulates the playback from said portable audio/video player.

The present invention relates to a method of updating SMD in an array of storage devices. In an embodiment, the method employs an array controller to change the start tag values of a copy set X, write an updated SMD of the copy set X, change the end tag values of copy set X, change the value of X, and repeat the change and write steps above to generate multiple SMD copies on each storage device. In another embodiment, the method updates the SMD in an array of SATA storage devices. In another embodiment, the invention is a data storage system, including at least one host, a plurality of storage nodes coupled to the host(s), where each storage node includes an array controller coupled to an array of storage devices and each storage device includes one or more copies of the SMD, and a system for managing SMD on each storage device. Another feature of the invention is the copying of SMD in all of the storage devices of a data storage system to increase the probability that a map for the data can be recovered.

The invention relates to management of I/O in data storage systems. In an embodiment, the invention provides a data storage subsystem processing I/O requests each having a priority, comprising a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, a disk array, an array controller coupled to the processor and the disk array, a network interface, coupled to the processor, to receive an I/O request with a priority, and a program in the memory for managing the I/O request based on the priority, a clip level of the priority, the total workload in the data storage subsystem, and processing I/O requests based on priority, workload clip levels, and fairness levels. The invention also contemplates the use of static and dynamic adjusted clip levels. The invention also relates to a method of managing I/O requests, comprising receiving an I/O request, determining the priority of the I/O request, comparing the total workload to the clip level for the priority, and processing the I/O request if the total workload is below the clip level or the priority workload is below a fairness level.
