摘要： Systems and methods are provided for disabling an array port in an enterprise storage system. In one embodiment, a system comprises a storage area network (SAN), a plurality of hosts, an array controller comprising a plurality of array ports, and a management server. The management server receives a request to disable an identified one of the plurality of array ports and identifies, from a configuration table stored in the management system server, one or more of the plurality of hosts having at least one path to the identified array port. The management server transmits an instruction to the one or more of the plurality of hosts to disable paths to the identified array port.

摘要： A technique oversees a path between a multipathing driver of a host computer and a volume of a data storage array. The technique involves, while the multipathing driver of the host computer sends input/output requests (IOs) to the volume of the data storage array on the path, generating an IOs-Over-Period metric based on outcomes of the IOs, the IOs-Over-Period metric providing a measure of IOs per failure over a period of path operation. The technique further involves performing a comparison operation which compares the IOs-Over-Period metric to a predefined flaky path range having a predefined lower limit and a predefined upper limit. The technique further involves, after performing the comparison operation, outputting a detection signal indicating that the path is (i) flaky when the IOs-Over-Period metric falls within the predefined flaky path range and (ii) non-flaky when the IOs-Over-Period metric falls outside of the predefined flaky path range.

摘要： A system shares encryption-related metadata between layers of a storage I/O stack. Additionally, a detection mechanism ensures that certain layers within the storage I/O stack are present and cooperate with a particular protocol. Along these lines, functional components engage in an in-band communications protocol, such as a data encryption key (DEK) management protocol. The in-band communications protocol employs protocol commands and responses carried along the data path as contents of in-band transport messages and responses, such as special SCSI read commands and their responses. The protocol commands and responses include a handshake command and a handshake response used during an initial handshake operation. Each protocol command and response has a protocol signature field carrying one of distinct first and second signature values which are used to identify the presence of the protocol command or response in the transport messages and responses at different locations along the data path.
