    摘要: One example of the present invention is directed to a data-storage system comprising a plurality of data-storage devices, one or more communications connections through which the data-storage system receives management and data-access commands and sends responses to received commands, and one or more processors. The one or more processors execute controller functionality that controls command and response exchanges through the communications connections, accesses the data-storage devices, and provides a data-storage-system interface that includes a management-interface portion that provides access to management functionality, a data-interface portion that provides access to data-access functionality, and a management-interface tunnel that provides alternative access to management functionality through the data-interface portion of the data-storage-system interface.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method of managing critical resource usage in a storage network comprises receiving, in a storage controller, an input/output operation from a host, wherein the input/output operation identifies a storage unit, placing the input/output operation in a waiting queue, determining a maximum queue depth for at least one critical resource in the storage network required to execute the input/output command against the storage unit, and blocking one or more subsequent input/output commands from the host for the storage unit when the wait queue for the critical resource exceeds the maximum queue depth.

    摘要: Systems and methods for implementing communication in a multiprocessor are disclosed. In one exemplary implementation a first processor receives a request to provide a communication resource for an application executing on the first processor to communicate with a remote application. In response to the communication request, the first processor opens a communication resource on a second processor, and manages communication operations between the application executing on the first processor and the remote application using the communication resource on the second processor.
