摘要:
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a host bus adapter for implementing a first port of a node on a network of nodes interconnected through an intelligent connection system comprising: a transceiver providing a physical interface for the first port; and a protocol controller that transmits a notification to the intelligent connection system on behalf of a remote second port indicating that the second port may have failed when the second port fails to communicate with the first port.

Storage device performance alignment notification includes informing a storage device of a starting logical block address (LBA) for each of one or more host containers to be stored on the storage device, and placing the one or more host containers at natural storage boundaries of the storage device based at least in part on the informing.

The present disclosure involves a method. As a part of the method, a logically sequential range of memory blocks is allocated for sequential access. A pointer is initialized with an address of a first memory block that is within the range of the memory blocks. In response to a data write next request, data is written into the range of the memory blocks, starting with the first memory block and continuing sequentially in subsequent memory blocks within the range until the data write next request is completed. Thereafter, the pointer is updated based on a last memory block in which data is written.

Method, system, and apparatus for executing input/output operations. The method including selecting a level of error recovery for input/output operations, receiving a request to execute the input/ output operation, attempting the input/output operation, and when the input/output operation fails, performing the level of error recovery specified. The selection of the error recovery level may be done by a user, or embedded within the input/output request itself.
摘要:
A system and method implemented on a storage device comprising a controller. In one embodiment, a controller identifier of the storage device's controller is combined with a logical unit number (“LUN”) associated with data stored on the storage device to produce a first value. The embodiment further comprises receiving a second value comprising a controller identifier of another storage device's controller combined with a LUN associated with data stored on the other storage device, and combining the first and second values.
